The densest predicted state of matter is color-superconducting quark matter, which has some affinities to electrical superconductors, but a much richer phase structure because quarks come in many varieties. Quark matter may well exist in the core of compact stars, and this workshop brings together two groups that are working intensively on the properties of color superconducting quark matter and the effort to develop signatures of its presence in compact stars.
