Description
QCD at large densities exhibits a moat regime in the scalar-pseudoscalar sector. The resolution of its dynamics is pivotal to access the onset of new phases, including the potential critical endpoint of QCD.
I report on a first self-consistent analysis of this regime, using the first-principles functional renormalisation group approach to QCD.
Mapping out the moat regime, we find a potential inhomogeneous instability at baryon chemical potential $\mu_B \gtrsim 600$MeV on the chiral crossover line.
I discuss the stability of this instability together with the closely connected phenomenon of precondensation, which can be probed in a natural manner using the fRG.
