{wiki=Color–flavor_locking}
Color-flavor locking (CFL) is a phenomenon that occurs in certain theories of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), particularly in the context of dense quark matter, such as that found in the cores of neutron stars. It is a theoretical framework used to describe the behavior of quarks when they are subjected to extremely high densities.
