Resonant decay of parity odd bubbles in hot hadronic matter

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We investigate the decay of metastable states with broken CP-symmetry which have recently been proposed by Kharzeev, Pisarski and Tytgat to form in hot hadronic matter. We consider the efficiency of the amplification of the η\eta'-field via parametric resonance, taking the backreaction into account. For times of the order t10fmt\approx 10 fm, we find a particle density of about 0.7/fm30.7/fm^3 and a correlation length of ξmax2.5fm\xi_{max}\approx 2.5 fm. The corresponding momentum spectra show a non-thermal behaviour.
