Transport Coefficients in Color Superconducting Quark Matter

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

Transport coefficients of dense quark matter are needed to study properties of compact stars. They can tell us about the cooling, vibrational and rotational properties of the star. We report below a computation of the shear viscosity in the CFL phase at low temperature T. CFL quark matter behaves as a superfluid, and at low T its transport properties are dominated by the collisions of superfluid phonons.
