Introduction: Pairing
in BCS, Tc is determined by thermal excitation of fermions, in BEC, Tc is controlled by thermal excitation of collective modes
Tc in the BEC region is independent of the coupling between fermions, since the coupling only affects the internal structure of the bosons.

in non-relativistic case, there is only one variable , changing the density can not induce a BCS-BEC crossover. however, in relativistic case, the extra density dependence may induce a BCS-BEC.

BCS-BEC in Asymmetric Nuclear MatterShijun Mao, Xuguang Huang, PZ, 2009
asymmetric nuclear matter with both np and nn and pp pairingsdensity-dependent contact interaction (Garrido et al, 1999)
and density-dependent nucleon mass (Berger, Girod, Gogny, 1991)
by calculating the three coupled gap equations, there exists only np pairing BEC state at low density and no nn and pp pairing BEC states.

Conclusions
* BCS-BEC crossover is a general phenomena from cold atom gas to quark matter.
* BCS-BEC crossover is closely related to the QCD key problems: vacuum, color symmetry, chiral symmetry, isospin symmetry ……
* BCS-BEC crossover in color superconductivity and pion superfluidity is not induced by simply increasing the coupling constant of the attractive interaction, but by changing the corresponding charge number.
* there are potential applications in heavy ion collisions (at CSR/Lanzhou, FAIR/GSI, NICA/JINR and RHIC/BNL) and compact stars.
