Chiral Transition and Baryon-number Susceptibility
نویسنده
چکیده
b We discuss the baryon-number susceptibility χ B and related topics which include the density fluctuations around the critical point of the chiral transition at finite temperature T and baryon density ρ B. Phenomenological implications of the density fluctuations near the first-order chiral transition at finite density are also discussed.

1 The QCD Mixed Phase : Shaken , not Stirred
Baryon fluctuations exceeding Poisson expectations can signal a nearly first order phase transition at RHIC. We show how these fluctuations can be measured, and apply a dissipative-hydrodynamic formulation used in condensed matter physics to simulate their evolution. If the phase transition from quark matter to hadron gas is first order, matter at the appropriate temperatures and densities can ...
متن کاملBehavior of physical observables in the vicinity of the QCD critical end point
Using the SU(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model, we study the chiral phase transition at finite T and μB. Special attention is given to the QCD critical end point (CEP): the study of physical quantities, as the pressure, the entropy, the baryon number susceptibility and the specific heat near the CEP, will provide complementary information concerning the order of the phase transition. We also an...

In the standard R4 embedding of the chiral O(4) model in 3+1 dimensions the winding number is not conserved near the chiral phase transition and thus no longer can be identified with baryon number. In order to reestablish conserved baryon number in effective low-energy models near and above the critical temperature Tc it is argued that insisting in O(N) models on the angular nature of the chira...

متن کاملQuark Number Fluctuations in a Chiral Model at Finite Baryon Chemical Potential
We discuss the net quark and isovector fluctuations as well as off-diagonal quark flavor susceptibilities along the chiral phase transition line in the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. The model is formulated at non-zero quark and isospin chemical potentials with non-vanishing vector couplings in the iso-scalar and iso-vector channels. We study the influence of the quark chemical potential on th...
