Phase space and quark mass effects in neutrino emissions in a color superconductor
abstract
We study the phase space for neutrino emissions with massive quarks in direct Urca processes in normal and color superconducting quark matter. We derive in QCD and the NJL model the Fermi momentum reduction resulting from Fermi liquid properties which opens up the phase space for neutrino emissions. The relation between the Fermi momentum and chemical potential is found to be $p_{F}\approx\mu(1-\kappa)$ with $\kappa$ depending on coupling constants. We find in the weak coupling regime that $\kappa$ is a monotonously increasing function of the chemical potential. This implies quenched phase space for neutrino emissions at low baryon densities. We calculate neutrino emissivities with massive quarks in a spin-one color superconductor. The quark mass corrections are found to be of the same order as the contributions in the massless case, which will bring sizable effects on the cooling behavior of compact stars.

Neutrino absorption in two-flavor color-superconducting quark matter
In 2SC quark matter, neutrino absorption is dominated by strange-quark capture at low temperature, and a degenerate neutrino gas at electron lepton fraction 0.1 has a mean free path of meters or less.
