Spinodal decomposition in pure-gauge QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
Spinodal decomposition in a model of pure-gauge SU(2) theory that incorporates a deconfinement phase transition is investigated by means of real-time lattice simulations of the fully nonlinear Ginzburg-Landau equation. Results are compared with a Glauber dynamical evolution using Monte Carlo simulations of pure-gauge lattice QCD.

After a rapid increase in temperature across the deconfinement temperature Td to temperatures T ≫ Td, pure gauge theories exhibit unstable long wavelength fluctuations in the approach to equilibrium. This phenomenon is analogous to spinodal decomposition observed in condensed matter physics, and also seen in models of disordered chiral condensate formation. At high temperature, the unstable mod...

We discuss the role of dissipation in the explosive spinodal decomposition scenario of hadron production during the chiral transition after a high-energy heavy ion collision. We use a Langevin description inspired by microscopic nonequilibrium field theory results to perform real-time lattice simulations of the behavior of the chiral fields. We show that the effect of dissipation can be dramati...
متن کاملEvolution of the Structure Factors in Pure Su(n) Lattice Gauge Theory and Effective Spin Models
We consider model A dynamics for a quench from the disordered into the ordered phase of SU(3) lattice gauge theory and the analogue 3d 3-state Potts model. For the gauge model this corresponds to a rapid heating from the confined to the deconfined phase. The exponential growth factors of low-lying structure function modes are numerically calculated. The linear theory of spinodal decomposition i...

We consider model A dynamics for a heating quench from the disordered (confined) into the ordered (deconfined) phase of SU(3) lattice gauge theory. For 4N σ lattices the exponential growth factors of low-lying structure function modes are calculated. The linear theory of spinodal decompositions is compared with the data from an effective model and the Debye screening mass is estimated from the ...
متن کاملGauge Fixing Identity in the Background Field Method of QCD in Pure Gauge
Gouranga C Nayak ∗ 1 Department of Physics, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA Abstract In this paper we derive a gauge fixing identity by varying the covariant gauge fixing term in Z[A, J, η, η̄] in the background field method of QCD in pure gauge. Using this gauge fixing identity we establish a relation between Z[J, η, η̄] in QCD and Z[A, J, η, η̄] in background field method of QCD in ...
