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…
Neutrino emission and cooling rates of spin-one color superconductors
Andreas Schmitt, Igor A. Shovkovy, Qun Wang
Neutrino emissivities due to direct Urca processes of several spin-one color-superconducting phases of dense quark matter are calculated. In particular, the role of anisotropies an…
A note on color neutrality in NJL-type models
Michael Buballa, Igor A. Shovkovy
By referring to the underlying physics behind the color charge neutrality condition in quark matter, we discuss how this condition should be properly imposed in NJL-type models in…
The phase diagram of neutral quark matter: The effect of neutrino trapping
Stefan B. Ruester, Verena Werth, Michael Buballa +2
We study the effect of neutrino trapping on the phase diagram of dense, locally neutral three-flavor quark matter within the framework of a Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. In the analys…
The phase diagram of neutral quark matter: Self-consistent treatment of quark masses
Stefan B. Ruester, Verena Werth, Michael Buballa +2
We study the phase diagram of dense, locally neutral three-flavor quark matter within the framework of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. In the analysis, dynamically generated quark m…
Pulsar kicks via spin-1 color superconductivity
Andreas Schmitt, Igor A. Shovkovy, Qun Wang
We propose a new neutrino propulsion mechanism for neutron stars which can lead to strong velocity kicks, needed to explain the observed bimodal velocity distribution of pulsars. T…
