Phase transition in linear sigma model and disoriented chiral condensate

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We have investigated the phase transition and disoriented chiral condensate domain formation in linear sigma model. Solving the equation of motion for the sigma model fields in contact with a heat bath, we have shown that the fields undergo phase transition above a certain critical temperature(T_c). It was also shown that when the fields thermalised at temperature above T_c are cooled down sufficiently rapidly, disoriented chiral condensate domains are formed quite late in the evolution.
