A Colored Zoo of Quasi-particles and Light Glueballs
Francesco Sannino
I briefly review the effective Lagrangians for three and two flavors QCD describing the relevant color superconductive light degrees of freedom and their electroweak interactions.
Relativistic Massive Vector Condensation
Francesco Sannino, Wolfgang Schäfer
At sufficiently high chemical potential massive relativistic spin one fields condense. This phenomenon leads to the spontaneous breaking of rotational invariance while linking it t…
Possible Z-width probe of a "brane-world" scenario for neutrino masses
S. Moussa, S. Nasri, F. Sannino +1
The possibility that the accurately known value of the Z width might furnish information about the coupling of two neutrinos to the Majoron (Nambu-Goldstone boson of spontaneous le…
Color Superconductivity: Symmetries and Effective Lagrangians
Francesco Sannino
I briefly review the symmetries and the associated low energy effective Lagrangian for two light flavor Color Superconductivity (2SC).
Supernovae, Hypernovae and Color Superconductivity
Deog Ki Hong, Stephen D. H. Hsu, Francesco Sannino
We argue that Color Superconductivity (CSC, Cooper pairing in quark matter leading to the breaking of SU(3) color symmetry) may play a role in triggering the explosive endpoint of…
The Superfluid and Conformal Phase Transitions of Two-Color QCD
J. T. Lenaghan, F. Sannino, K. Splittorff
The phase structure of two-color QCD is examined as a function of the chemical potential and the number of light quark flavors. We consider effective Lagrangians for two-color QCD…
The Glueball sector of two-flavor Color Superconductivity
R. Ouyed, F. Sannino
We construct the effective Lagrangian describing the light glueballs associated with the unbroken and confining SU(2) color subgroup for the 2 flavor superconductive phase of QCD.…
Quark Stars as inner engines for Gamma Ray Bursts?
R. Ouyed, F. Sannino
A model for Gamma ray bursts inner engine based on quark stars (speculated to exist in nature) is presented. We describe how and why these objects might constitute new candidates f…
