Bose-Einstein condensation of diquark molecules in three-flavor quark matter
Masakiyo Kitazawa, Dirk H. Rischke, Igor A. Shovkovy
We study the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter with three quark flavors at low and intermediate densities and non-zero temperatures in the framework of an NJL-type model…
Chemical Equilibration at the Hagedorn Temperature
J. Noronha-Hostler, C. Greiner, I. A. Shovkovy
One important question in relativistic heavy ion collisions is if hadrons, specifically anti-hyperons, are in equilibrium before thermal freezeout because strangeness enhancement h…
Color superconductivity in quark matter
Igor A. Shovkovy
A brief introduction into the properties of dense quark matter is given. Recently proposed gapless color superconducting phases of neutral and beta-equilibrated dense quark matter…
Gapless phases of color-superconducting matter
Igor A. Shovkovy, Stefan B. Ruester, Dirk H. Rischke
We discuss gapless color superconductivity for neutral quark matter in beta equilibrium at zero as well as at nonzero temperature. Basic properties of gapless superconductors are r…
Two lectures on color superconductivity
Igor A. Shovkovy
The first lecture provides an introduction to the physics of color superconductivity in cold dense quark matter. The main color superconducting phases are briefly described and the…
Quark mass effects on the stability of hybrid stars
M. Buballa, F. Neumann, M. Oertel +1
We perform a study of the possible existence of hybrid stars with color superconducting quark cores using a specific hadronic model in a combination with an NJL-type quark model. I…
