Abstract

Taking the vector kaon-quark interaction into account, we reexamine in detail the neutral kaon condensation in color-flavor locked quark matter. It is found that the pairing phenomena in the quark matter are somewhat influenced by K⁰ condensation. Different from the previous predictions, we find that the K⁰ condensed phase might no longer be more stable than the normal phase even if K⁰ condensation can occur in the color-flavor locked matter.
