Abstract

Recent experiments in heavy ion collisions have shown the possibility of creating parity-odd domains resulting from the θ\theta term in strong interaction Lagrangian. The θ\theta term originates from the nontrivial solution of QCD vacuum known as the θ\theta vacuum, and the value of θ\theta is taken to be a function of spacetime coordinates in the parity-odd domains. This means that we have to consider different theories at each point so that we need to devise a new approach to define the QCD vacuum. In this Letter, we suggest a method to generalize the θ\theta vacuum by exploiting the dimension 2 condensates and to calculate the parity-odd domain structure as the union of gauge slices defined by the constant value of dimension 2 condensate.
