Color superconductivity and implications for neutron star cooling

Prashanth Jaikumar

McGill University

Cold and dense quark matter exhibits BCS-type pairing with critical temperatures that make neutron stars, the likely candidates to support such matter in their cores, the hottest superconductors in the universe. I will discuss general aspects of color superconductivity followed by the neutrino signature from quark matter in neutron stars, and comment on the possibility of it's observation through neutrinos.
