Relating the pion decay constant to the chiral restoration temperature

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We review the relationship between the pion decay constant fπf_\pi, the chiral symmetry restoration temperature TcT_c and the phenomenology of low energy chiral symmetry breaking in view of the recent confirmation of the existence of a sigma meson with a mass of 600-700 MeV.
