Measuring Diquark Condensation in Lattice Simulations of Dense Matter

Abstract

We discuss general aspects of the possibility of Bose condensation of diquark pairs in systems of dense matter. Lattice field theory simulations are presented for model four-fermion theories which are expected to manifest the phenomenon, and results from measurements of both diquark two-point and one-point functions presented. Whilst initial results are promising, there remain systematic effects needing to be understood.
