We describe low energy physics in the CFL and LOFF phases by means of effective lagrangians. In the CFL case we present also how to derive expressions for the parameters appearing in the lagrangian via weak coupling calculations taking…
We construct the Lagrangian for an effective theory of highly energetic quarks with energy Q, interacting with collinear and soft gluons. This theory has two low energy scales, the transverse momentum of the collinear particles, p_perp, and…
