Show affiliationsRecent interest in novel phases in high density QCD motivates the study of high density supersymmetric QCD (SQCD), where powerful exact results for supersymmetric gauge theories can be brought to bear in the strongly coupled regime. We begin by describing how a chemical potential can be incorporated into a supersymmetric theory as a spurion vector superfield. We then study supersymmetric SU(Nc) gauge theories with Nf flavors of quarks in the presence of a baryon chemical potential μ, and describe the global symmetry breaking patterns at low energy. Our analysis requires μ < Λ and is thus complementary to the variational approach that has been successful for μ >> Λ. We find that for Nf < Nc a modified U(1)B symmetry is preserved, analogous to the non-supersymmetric 2SC phase, whereas for Nf = Nc there is a critical chemical potential above which the U(1)B is broken, as it is in the non-supersymmetric CFL phase. We further analyze the cases with Nc+1 ≤ Nf < (3/2)Nc and find that baryon number is broken dynamically for
