We argue that cold quark matter is a color superconductor. The Cooper pairs of QCD are spin-isospin zero, color anti-triplet diquarks. In this contribution we review some of the available information on the quark-quark interaction in QCD.…

We analyze the possibility that bubbles of quark matter surviving the confinement phase transition might have become colour superconducting due to the enormous compression suffered by them. Because of the relatively high temperature of the…

It is possible that at low temperatures and large density there exists a confining matter with restored chiral symmetry, just after the dense nuclear matter with broken chiral symmetry. Such a phase has sofar been studied within a confining…
The color neutral two-flavor superconducting (2SC) phase of cold and dense quark matter is studied in the presence of constant magnetic fields and at moderate baryon densities. In the first part of the paper, a two-flavor effective…
