Phase diagram of dilute nuclear matter: Unconventional pairing and the BCS-BEC crossover

We report on a comprehensive study of the phase structure of cold, dilute nuclear matter featuring a SD condensate at non-zero isospin asymmetry, within wide ranges of temperatures and densities. We find a rich phase diagram comprising three superfluid phases, namely a Larkin-Ovchinnikov-Fulde-Ferrell phase, the ordinary BCS phase, and a heterogeneous, phase-separated BCS phase, with associated crossovers from the latter two phases to a homogeneous or phase-separated Bose-Einstein condensate of deuterons. The phase diagram contains two tricritical points (one a Lifshitz point), which may degenerate into a single tetracritical point for some degree of isospin asymmetry.
