The phase diagram of QCD probably exhibits a moat regime over a large region of temperature $T$ and chemical potential $μ≠0$. A moat regime is characterized by quasiparticle moatons (pions) whose energy is minimal at nonzero spatial momentum. At $μ≠0$, higher mass dimension operators play a critical… [Phys. Rev.
