Chiral Phase Transition

Chiral Phase Transition in heavy ion collision:
Two Lorentz contracted nuclei are approaching toward each other at the velocity of light. After two nuclei pass each other,,,
Vacuum between two nuclei are excited and filled with a quark-gluon plasma. Vacuum chiral condensate has melted away in this region.
As the system expands, the quark-gluon plasma will hadronize and the chiral symmetry will be broken spontaneously again.
We have growing chiral condensate and particle excitations
Eventually, condensate will be repaired and particles will fly apart with a frozen momentum distribution.
≫We like to formulate a quantum transport theory to describe the final stages.

Wigner function … ~ Quantum Kinetic Equations~
*Define creation/annihilation operator:
(μ: physical particle mass)
*Construct Wigner function (quantum version of number density distribution in phase space):
*Equation of Motion for F contains other “Wigner functions”
★ For a static uniform system,G,Gbar can be eliminated by the Bogoliubov tr. (corresponds to redefinition of particle mass) . [ /14]

Quantum Kinetic Equation for <a+a>
l.h.s: Landau kinetic equation
r.h.s: sink/source terms due to the local fluctuation of “particle mass” can not be eliminated for a nonuniform system.

Kinetic Equation for the Wigner function g
* no drift/Vlasov term for g* purely quantum mechanical origin* looks more like an equation of a simple ocsillator with frequency 2ε
Rapid oscillation between particle and “anti-particle”
*Equation for the Wigner function g=<aa>
★ If the system is static and uniform, Up=0 F and G are decoupled by Bogoliubov tr.
r.h.s: Matter distribution f(p,r,t) disturbs the oscillation as “external perturbation “

SUMMARY
* We have derived a coupled set of equations for quantized self-interacting realscalar field (O(N) linear sigma model) containing equations for classical mean field and Vlasov equations for particle excitations.
* We have studied dispersion relation of excitations and found σ-like mode with mass and π-like massless modes corresponding to the Nambu-Goldstone bosons.
Open problems:* We have to solve the equations with more realistic initial condition for final stages of evolution of nucleus-nucleus collision.
* Non-hydrodynamic collective flow may be generated by acceleration by mean field gradient .
* This formalism gives a consistent framework for studying these problems.
Thank you very much indeed for your kind attention!!
