Abstract

In this paper we address the question of the phenomena of Andreev reflection between the cold quark-gluon plasma phase and the color-flavor-locking (CFL) color superconductor. We show that there are two different types of reflections connected with the structure of the CFL phase. We also calculate the probability current at the interface and we show that it vanishes for an energy of scattering quarks below the superconducting gap.
