Pion String evolving in a thermal bath

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-10-26 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

By using the symmetry improved CJT effective formalism, we study a pion string of the O(4)O(4) linear sigma model at finite temperature in chiral limit. In terms of the Kibble-Zurek mechanism we reconsider the production and evolution of the pion string in a thermal bath. Finally, we estimate the pion string density and its possible signal during the chiral phase transition.
