Color-flavor locked phase of dense quark matter with nonzero strangeness chemical potential

Abstract

We study the effects of a nonzero strangeness chemical potential ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{S}$ on the color-flavor locked phase of dense quark matter. It is found that, depending on the value of ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{S},$ both the antikaon and kaon condensations may occur in color-flavor locked quark matter. The consequences of these condensations for the phase diagram of dense quark matter are investigated.
