Phase diagram animation Phase diagrams for the competition between chiral and diquark condensations. The following movie is the result of a random matrix model which describes both chiral condensation and quark Cooper pairing. This work is summarized in Phys. The animation shows the evolution of the phase structure with the balance between chiral and diquark condensations. The following frames show the phase diagram for ratios increasingly in favor of diquark condensation.
T is the temperature and mu the chemical potential in scaled units.
The chiral phase is delimited by red lines, the diquark phase appears below the blue line and the green lines delimitate the mixed broken symmetry phase.
