Gapless color superconductivity

We present the dispersion relations for quasiparticle excitations about the color-flavor locked ground state of QCD at high baryon density. In the pre sence of condensates which pair light and strange quarks there need not be an energy gap in the quasiparticle spectrum. This raises the possibility of gapless color superconductivity, with a Meissner effect but no minimum exc itation energy. Analysis within a toy model suggests that grapless color su perconductivity may occur only as a metastable phase.
