Supersymmetric color superconductivity

Recent interest in novel phases in high density QCD motivates the study of high density supersymmetric QCD (SQCD), where powerful exact results for supersymmetric gauge theories can be brought to bear in the strongly coupled regime. We begin by describing how a chemical potential can be incorporated into a supersymmetric theory as a spurion vector superfield. We then study supersymmetric SU(N{sub c}) gauge theories with N{sub f} flavors of quarks in the presence of a baryon chemical potential {mu}, and describe the global symmetry breaking patterns at low energy. Our analysis requires {mu} > {Lambda}. We find that for N{sub F} {mu}{sub c}. We also give a qualitative description of the phases in the ''conformal window'', 3/2 N{sub c} < N{sub f} < 3N{sub c}, at finite density.
