Kaon Condensation in a Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) Model at High Density
Michael McNeil Forbes
We demonstrate a fully self-consistent microscopic realization of a kaon-condensed colour-flavour locked state (CFLK0) within the context of a mean-field NJL model at high density.…
Stability Criteria for Breached Pair Superfluidity
Michael McNeil Forbes, Elena Gubankova, W. Vincent Liu +1
We present simple, concrete, two-fermion models that exhibit thermodynamically stable isotropic translationally-invariant gapless superfluid states (breached pair superfluidity). T…
Global Strings in High Density QCD
Michael McNeil Forbes, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky
We show that several types of global strings occur in colour superconducting quark matter due to the spontaneous violation of relevant U(1) symmetries. These include the baryon U(1…
Primordial Galactic Magnetic Fields: An Application of QCD Domain Walls
Michael McNeil Forbes, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky
We present a mechanism for generating primordial magnetic fields with large correlation lengths on the order of 100 kpc today. The mechanism is based on recently conjectured QCD do…
Primordial Galactic Magnetic Fields from the QCD Phase Transition
Michael McNeil Forbes, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky
In this paper, we propose a mechanism to generate large-scale magnetic fields with correlations lengths of 100 kpc. Domain walls with QCD scale internal structure form and coalesce…
Primordial galactic magnetic fields from domain walls at the QCD phase transition
Michael McNeil Forbes, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky
We propose a mechanism to generate large-scale magnetic fields with correlation lengths of 100 kpc. Domain walls with QCD scale internal structure form and coalesce obtaining Hubbl…
