Light plasmon mode in the CFL phase

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

The self-energies and the spectral densities of longitudinal and transverse gluons at zero temperature in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase are calculated. There appears a collective excitation, a light plasmon, at energies smaller than two times the gap parameter and momenta smaller than about eight times the gap. The minimum in the dispersion relation of this mode at some nonzero value of momentum corresponds to the van Hove singularity.
