Viscosity spectral functions of the dilute Fermi gas in kinetic theory

J. Chao, M. Braby, T. Schaefer

We compute the viscosity spectral function of the dilute Fermi gas for different values of the s-wave scattering length , including the unitarity limit . We perform…

Thermal Conductivity and Sound Attenuation in Dilute Atomic Fermi Gases

Matt Braby, Jingyi Chao, Thomas Schaefer

We compute the thermal conductivity and sound attenuation length of a dilute atomic Fermi gas in the framework of kinetic theory. Above the critical temperature for superfluidity,…

Shear viscosity from kaon condensation in color-flavor-locked quark matter

Mark G. Alford, Matt Braby, Simin Mahmoodifar

We calculate the kaonic contribution to the shear viscosity of quark matter in the kaon-condensed color-flavor locked phase (CFL-K0). This contribution comes from a light pseudo-Go…

Thermal conductivity of color-flavor locked quark matter

Matt Braby, Jingyi Chao, Thomas Schaefer

We compute the thermal conductivity of color-flavor locked (CFL) quark matter. At temperatures below the scale set by the gap in the quark spectrum, transport properties are determ…

Bulk viscosity in kaon-condensed color-flavor locked quark matter

Mark G. Alford, Matt Braby, Andreas Schmitt

Color-flavor locked (CFL) quark matter at high densities is a color superconductor, which spontaneously breaks baryon number and chiral symmetry. Its low-energy thermodynamic and t…

Critical temperature for kaon condensation in color-flavor locked quark matter

Mark G. Alford, Matt Braby, Andreas Schmitt

We study the behavior of Goldstone bosons in color-flavor-locked (CFL) quark matter at nonzero temperature. Chiral symmetry breaking in this phase of cold and dense matter gives ri…
