Abstract We compute the modification of the photon self-energy due to dynamical diquark fluctuations developed near the critical temperature of two-flavor superconductivity, which is one of the color superconducting phases, through the Aslamasov–Larkin, Maki–Thompson, and density of states terms, which are responsible for the paraconductivity in metals at vanishing energy and momentum. The analysis is performed through an investigation of the diquark fluctuations within the normal phase determined by the mean-field approximation in the massless two-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. It is shown that the rate has a significant enhancement in low-invariant-mass regions over a rather wide range of temperatures in the normal phase. This enhancement is worth exploring in the relativistic heavy-ion collisions, which may thereby reveal the significance of the diquark fluctuations in dense quark matter.
