Impact of eight-quark interactions in chiral phase transitions I: Secondary magnetic catalysis

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-14 v1

Abstract

The influence of a constant magnetic field on the order parameter of the four-dimensional Nambu and Jona-Lasinio model extended by the 't Hooft six-quark term and eight-quark interactions is considered. It is shown that the multi-quark interactions cause the order parameter to increase sharply (secondary magnetic catalysis) with increasing strength of the field at the characteristic scale H1014Λ2H\sim 10^{14}\Lambda^2 G/MeV^2.
