| Friday, November 7 | Jeff Bowers, INT "Color superconductivity at intermediate densities" In color superconductors, QCD favors Cooper pairs that are antisymmetric in color and in flavor, but in cold quark matter at densities relevant for compact stars, the up, down, and strange quarks may have unequal Fermi momenta. Novel pairing mechanisms are required to accomodate inter-species pairing. In a crystalline color superconductor, the Cooper pairs have nonzero total momentum and the condensate breaks translational symmetry. In a breached-pair color superconductor, a shell of quarks is promoted from one Fermi surface to the other to allow pairing. If a large flavor asymmetry forbids inter-species pairing, a spin-one color superconductor is favored. All of these phases can have gapless quasiquark excitations and are therefore simultaneously metallic and superconducting. I discuss the prospect of observing the crystalline phase in a trapped gas of ultracold fermionic atoms, and describe implications for the physics of compact stars. |
