The three flavor LOFF phase of QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-12-18 v1

Abstract

We explore the Larkin-Ovchinnikov-Fulde-Ferrell (LOFF) phase of QCD with three flavors, using a Ginzburg-Landau expansion of the free energy, and a NJL point-like four-fermion interaction, with the quantum numbers of single-gluon exchange.
