On possible $\Theta$ vacua states in heavy ion collisions

Abstract

We have simulated the possible Θ\Theta vacua states in heavy ion collisions. In a quench like scenario, random phases of the chiral fields were evolved in a zero temperature potential incorporating the breaking of UA(1)U_A(1) symmetry. Initial random phases very quickly settles into oscillation around the values dictated by the potential. The simulation indicate that Θ\Theta vacua states that can be populated in heavy ion collisions is a coherent superposition of a number of modes.
