We estimate the probability that a disoriented chiral condensate forms during the spherical expansion of a hot medium described by the linear sigma model.
We argue that disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) domains are not well defined for temperatures above the Ginzburg temperature $T_G$ ($\simeq 0.7 T_c$). Above $T_G$, the dynamics of DCC domains is dominated by thermal fluctuations leading…
There are indications of formation of a thermalized medium in high multiplicity pp collisions at LHC energy. It is possible that such a medium may reach high enough energy density/temperature so that a transient stage of quark-gluon plasma,…
It is thought that a region of pseudo-vacuum, where the chiral order parameter is misaligned from its vacuum orientation in isospin space, might occasionally form in high energy hadronic or nuclear collisions. The possible detection of such…

We demonstrate the possibility of forming a single, large domain of disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in a heavy-ion collision. In our scenario, rapid initial heating of the parton system provides a driving force for the chiral field,…
The characteristic size for spatial structure, that emerges when the bifurcation parameter in model partial differential equations is slowly increased through its critical value, depends logarithmically on the size of added noise. Numerics…
Relativistic heavy ion collisions can generate metastable domains in which the chiral condensate is disoriented. Nucleus-sized domains can yield measurable fluctuations in the number of neutral and charged pions. We propose a scenario in…
