Color superconductivity in QCD with 2+1 flavors

In dense quark matter, the response of the color superconducting condensates (gaps) to a small variation, deltamu, in the chemical potential of the strange quark was studied. The approximation of three massless flavors of quarks and a general ansatz for the color flavor structure of the condensates was used. The general pole structure of the quasi-particle propagator in this ansatz is presented. The gap equation was solved in a single gluon exchange model and results are presented for varying values of deltamu.
