Hadron physics

phase of dense three-flavour quark matter in which quark pairing locks color and flavour rotations together and breaks chiral symmetry.

In hadron physics, color-flavor locking refers to phase of dense three-flavour quark matter in which quark pairing locks color and flavour rotations together and breaks chiral symmetry. This meaning comes from Alford (1999) in Nuclear Physics B.[1]
