✦ Synopsis

At high baryon number density, it has been proposed that a new phase of QCD matter controls the physics. This matter is confining but can have densities much larger than Λ 3 QCD . Its existence is argued from large N c approximations, and model computations. It is approximately chirally symmetric.
