Forming a Single, Large, DCC Domain in a Heavy-Ion Collision
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate the possibility of forming a single, large domain of disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in a heavy-ion collision. In our scenario, rapid initial heating of the parton system provides a driving force for the chiral field, moving it away from the true vacuum and forcing it to go to the opposite side on the vacuum manifold. This converts the entire hot region into a single DCC domain. Interestingly, our results show that such a large DCC domain can form only when the maximum temperature of the system is within a window, roughly between 110-260 MeV.

متن کاملDissipation, noise and DCC domain formation
The possibility of forming disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in relativistic heavy ion collisions has generated considerable research activities in recent years. The idea was first proposed by Rajagopal and Wilczek [1–4]. They argued that for a second order chiral phase transition, the chiral condensate can become temporarily disoriented in the nonequilibrium conditions encountered in heavy i...
متن کاملSearch for Dcc in Relativistic Heavy-ion Collision through Event Shape Analysis
Event shape analysis has been used to look for DCC signals in simulated ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collision data at SPS energy. A simple redistribution of particles, with two detectors to detect charged particles and photons, is seen to result in the same flow direction with the flow angle difference peaking at zero. However, events where the neutral pion fraction has been modified according ...
متن کاملSearch for DCC in relativistic heavy-ion collisions : Possibilities and Limitations
The experimental observation of disoriented chiral condensate is affected due to various physical and detector related effects. We study and quantify the strength of the experimental signal, “neutral pion fraction” within the framework of a simple DCC model, using the analysis methods based on the multiresolution discrete wavelet technique and by evaluating the signal to background ratio. The s...
متن کاملΦ-measure and Disoriented chiral condensates
Fluctuations in the ratio of neutral to charged pions arising due to formation of disoriented chiral condensates (DCC) are discussed using the Φ-measure. The properties of the measure for various cases of DCC and non-DCC are discussed. The effect of detector efficiencies and other experimental factors are presented. Application of the Φ-measure to simulated data, within the context of a simple ...
