Inhomogeneous chiral phases in two-flavor quark matter

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2018-09-12 v1

Abstract

We present a systematic study of the phase structure of QCD in a generalized Ginzburg-Landau framework. We find, going up in density, a strongly interacting matter might go through the "pion crystal", an exotic inhomogeneous chiral phase before reaching the full restoration of symmetry.
