Non-equilibrium phenomena in the QCD phase transition
Within the context of the linear σ-model for two flavours, we investigate non-equilibrium phenomena that may occur during the QCD chiral phase transition in heavy-ion collisions. We assume that the chiral symmetry breaking is followed by a rapid quench so that the system falls out of thermal equilibrium. We study the mechanism for the amplification of the pion field during the oscillations of t...
متن کاملSubcritical fluctuations at the electroweak phase transition.
We study the importance of thermal fluctuations during the electroweak phase transition. We evaluate in detail the equilibrium number density of large amplitude subcritical fluctuations and discuss the importance of phase mixing to the dynamics of the phase transition. Our results show that, for realistic Higgs masses, the phase transition can be completed by the percolation of the true vacuum,...
متن کاملNon-equilibrium phase transition in negotiation dynamics
We introduce a model of negotiation dynamics whose aim is that of mimicking the mechanisms leading to opinion and convention formation in a population of individuals. The negotiation process, as opposed to "herdinglike" or "bounded confidence" driven processes, is based on a microscopic dynamics where memory and feedback play a central role. Our model displays a nonequilibrium phase transition ...
متن کاملDisorienting the Chiral Condensate at the Qcd Phase Transition
I sketch how long wavelength modes of the pion field can be amplified during the QCD phase transition. If nature had been kinder, and had made the pion mass significantly less than the critical temperature for the transition, then this phenomenon would have characterized the transition in thermal equilibrium. Instead, these long wavelength oscillations of the orientation of the chiral condensat...
متن کاملOn the QCD Phase Transition at Finite Baryon Density
We investigate the QCD chiral phase transition at finite chemical potential μ, using the renormalization group (RG) to characterize the infrared behavior of sigma models constrained by the flavor and spacetime symmetries. The results are similar to those obtained from RG analysis of the finite temperature transition at zero baryon density. When there are more than two massless flavors of quarks...
