Instanton-Induced Interactions in Finite Density QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We consider the finite density, zero-temperature behaviour of quark matter in the instanton picture. Since the instanton-induced interactions are attractive in both qˉq\bar{q}q and qqqq channels, a competition ensues between phases of matter with condensation in either or both. It results in chiral symmetry restoration due to the onset of diquark condensation, a `colour superconductor', at finite density.
