We investigate possible precursory phenomena of color superconductivity in quark matter at finite temperature T with use of a simple Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. It is found that the fluctuating pair field exists with a prominent strength even well above the critical temperature T_c. We show that the collective pair field has a complex energy located in the second Riemann sheet, which approaches the origin as T is lowered to T_c. We discuss the possible relevance of the precursor to the observables to be detected in heavy ion collisions.

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Soft modes tied to the QCD critical point and color superconductivity create a pseudogap in quark spectra and boost electric conductivity plus dilepton production above the transition temperatures.

  2. Soft mode dynamics associated with QCD critical point and color superconductivity -- pseudogap, anomalous dilepton production and electric conductivity

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Soft modes linked to the QCD critical point and two-flavor color superconductivity in the NJL model produce a pseudogap above Tc and enhance electric conductivity and dilepton rates relevant to heavy-ion collisions.
