# Magnetic-induced condensate, vortices and vortons in color-flavor-locked-type matter

## TL;DR

This paper investigates how rotated magnetic fields influence dense QCD matter, revealing magnetic-induced condensates, vortex formations, and the potential existence of vortons, with implications for understanding magnetic effects in color-flavor-locked phases.

## Contribution

It introduces a model-independent analysis of magnetic effects on Higgs modes in dense QCD, demonstrating magnetic-induced condensates and proposing vortex and vorton formations.

## Key findings

- Magnetic fields can trigger diquark condensates beyond known phases.
- Superfluid-like vortices can form due to magnetic-induced condensates.
- Vortons may exist under certain conditions, with analyzed stability.

## Abstract

By considering Higgs modes within the Ginzburg-Landau framework, we study influences of a rotated magnetic field on the color-flavor-locked-type matter of dense QCD. We demonstrate, in a model-independent way, that a diquark condensate may be triggered by the magnetic response of rotated-charged Higgs modes, in addition to the known color-flavor-locked condensate. Moreover, the condensate is applied to explore formations of vortices in the presence of external magnetic fields. The superfluid-like vortices are constructed for the magnetic-induced condensate. In the situation including both kinds of condensates, the theoretical possibility of vortons is suggested and the formation condition and the energy stability are investigated semi-classically.
