Bulk viscosity in 2SC and CFL quark matter
Mark G. Alford, Andreas Schmitt
The bulk viscosities of two color-superconducting phases, the color-flavor locked (CFL) phase and the 2SC phase, are computed and compared to the result for unpaired quark matter.…
Color superconductivity in dense quark matter
Mark G. Alford, Krishna Rajagopal, Thomas Schaefer +1
Matter at high density and low temperature is expected to be a color superconductor, which is a degenerate Fermi gas of quarks with a condensate of Cooper pairs near the Fermi surf…
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…
