We study by diagrammatic methods a mixture of single-component bosons and fermions, with boson-fermion coupling tuned by a Fano-Feshbach resonance. For increasing coupling, the growing boson-fermion pairing correlations progressively reduce…

A pion-quark pairing temperature is defined by a BCS-like relation identified from a quark-level Goldberger-Treiman relation with a Nambu scalar mass "gap parameter" taken in the low-mass limit. This intuitive relation predicts the…

Using a simple kinetic model we study whether a pion condensate can be formed during the hadronization of the quark-gluon plasma in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. If hadronization proceeds fast and the pion effective mass is close…
