Journal ArticleDOI
Color superconductivity in dense quark matter
TL;DR: The color-flavor locked (CFL) phase as mentioned in this paper is a color superconductor, which is a degenerate Fermi gas of quarks with a condensate of Cooper pairs near the surface that induces color Meissner effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
QCD at finite baryon density: nucleon droplets and color superconductivity
TL;DR: In this article, a variational procedure was used to study finite-density QCD in an approximation in which the interaction between quarks is modelled by that induced by instantons, and it was shown that uniform states with conventional chiral symmetry breaking have negative pressure with respect to empty space at all but the lowest densities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Color-flavor locking and chiral symmetry breaking in high density QCD
TL;DR: In this paper, a symmetry breaking scheme for QCD with three massless quarks at high baryon density was proposed, where the color and flavor SU(3) color × SU (3) L × SU( 3) R symmetries were broken down to the diagonal subgroup SU(4) color+L + R by the formation of a condensate of quark Cooper pairs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid stars that masquerade as neutron stars
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a hybrid (nuclear+quark matter) star can have a mass-radius relationship very similar to that predicted for a star made of purely nucleonic matter.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In the course of the work, a perspective on the many research streams which flow into and out of QCD is offered, as well as a vision for future developments.
