The importance of diquarks has been noticed in the context of several elementary particle processes. In recent years the study of diquarks has become of considerable interest in highlighting its role in high density physics from the point…
At high nuclear density and small temperature, due to the asymptotic freedom property of Quantum ChromoDynamics and to the existence of an attractive channel in the color interaction, diquark condensates might be formed. Since these…

Matter at intermediate baryon densities and low temperatures is notoriously hard to tackle theoretically. Whereas lattice methods cannot cover more than rather small densities, perturbative methods are only applicable at much higher…
We study the Bethe-Salpeter equations for spin zero diquark composites in the color superconducting phase of N_f=2 cold dense QCD. The explicit form of the spectrum of the diquarks, containing an infinite tower of narrow (at high density)…
In this contribution we revisit simulations of two-color QCD with rooted staggered quarks at finite density, where baryon-number spontaneously breaks and a diquark condensate forms. We thereby pay special attention to simulating outside the…
