Neutrino emission from Goldstone modes in dense quark matter
Neutrino emission from Goldstone modes in dense quark matter
We calculate neutrino emissivities from the decay and scattering of Goldstone bosons in the color-flavor-locked (CFL) phase of quarks at high baryon density. Interactions in the CFL phase are described by an effective low-energy theory. For temperatures in the tens of keV range, relevant to the long-term cooling of neutron …
