Disoriented Chiral Condensates in Hadron-Hadron Collisions
نویسنده
چکیده
We review recent progress in the description and understanding of disoriented chiral condensates. Certain important unsolved issues are underlined, and the preliminary results of our program of investigation of these issues in the framework of the classical linear sigma model are reported. We also briefly review a formalism which could be useful at the full non-equilibrium quantum field theory level of analysis. Presented by G. Amelino-Camelia at the 10th International Conference on Problems of Quantum Field Theory, Alushta, Crimea, Ukraine, May 13-18, 1996.

Dynamics of Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Nuclear Collisions
Measurements of disoriented chiral condensates in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC can yield fundamental information on the nature of the QCD phase transition. I review theoretical efforts to understand the evolution of the condensate and present new results on experimental signals in the single pion spectrum and in pion interferometry. Invited talk at the Third International Workshop o...
متن کاملOut-of-equilibrium Photon Production from Disoriented Chiral Condensates
We study the production of photons through the non-equilibrium relaxation of a disoriented chiral condensate. We propose that to search for nonequilibrium photons in the direct photon measurements of heavy-ion collisions can be a potential test of the formation of disoriented chiral condensates.

متن کاملFuture Directions for QCD
New directions for exploring QCD at future high-energy colliders are sketched. These include jets within jets, BFKL dynamics, soft and hard diffraction, searches for disoriented chiral condensate, and doing a better job on minimum bias physics. The new experimental opportunities include electron-ion collisions at HERA, a new collider detector at the C0 region of the TeVatron, and the FELIX init...
متن کاملLa-ur-94-2754 Evolution of the Disoriented Chiral Condensates in the Mean Field Approximation
We study the dynamics of the chiral phase transition expected during the expansion of the quark-gluon plasma produced in a high energy hadron or heavy ion collision, using the O(4) linear sigma model in the mean eld approximation. Starting from an approximate equilibrium connguration at an initial proper time in the disordered phase, we study the transition to the ordered broken symmetry phase ...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Quantum Dynamics of Disoriented Chiral Condensates
The nonequilibrium dynamics of the chiral phase transition expected during the expansion of the quark-qluon plasma produced in a high energy hadron or heavy ion collision is studied in the O(4) linear sigma model to leading order in a large N expansion. Starting from an approximate equilibrium configuration at an initial proper time τ in the disordered phase we study the transition to the order...
