Abstract

The exploration of the phase diagram of dense baryonic matter is an area of intense theoretical and experimental activity. Baryonic systems, from dilute neutron matter at low density to superconducting quark matter at high density, exhibit an enormous variety of many-body effects. Despite its simplicity all these phenomena are ultimately described by the lagrangian of QCD.
