When the isospin chemical potential exceeds the pion mass, charged pions condense in the zero-momentum state forming a superfluid. Chiral perturbation theory provides a very powerful tool for studying this phase. However, the formalism that…
The decay of disoriented chiral condensates into soft pions is considered within the context of a linear sigma model. Unlike earlier analytic studies, which focused on the production of pions as the sigma field rolled down toward its new…
We analyze various aspects of pion and kaon condensation in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. Considering a system at vanishing temperature and varying the isospin chemical potential and the strange quark chemical potential we…
We consider isospin correlations of pions produced in a relativistic nuclear collision, using an effective theory of the chiral order parameter. Our theory has (1+1) Lorentz invariance as appropriate for the central rapidity region. We…
We use the linear $\sigma$ model to analyse the dynamics of a disoriented chiral condensate. For idealized boundary conditions appropriate to high energy collisions, the problem can be reduced to a one dimensional one. The evolution of the…
The lifetime of a disoriented chiral condensate formed within a heat bath of pions is calculated assuming temperatures and densities attainable at present and future heavy-ion colliders. A generalization of the reduction formula to include…
The QCD effective action at high T shows a manifest global chiral symmetry. And calculations show that the order parameter \psibarpsi vanishes above T_c. It has been popular to refer to this T_c as chiral symmetry restoration temperature…
Fluctuations between charged and neutral kaons measured by the ALICE Collaboration in Pb-Pb collisions at the LHC exceed conventional explanations. Previously it was shown that if the scalar condensate is accompanied by an electrically…
The present status of our understanding of low mass dilepton production in relativistic heavy ion collisions is discussed. The focus of the discussion will be the sensitivity of dilepton measurements to in medium changes of hadrons and the…
We examine the non-equilibrium time evolution of the hadronic plasma produced in a relativistic heavy ion collision, assuming a spherical expansion into the vacuum. We study the $O(4)$ linear sigma model to leading order in a large-$N$…
The leading-particle effect and the factorization property of the scattering amplitude in the impact parameter space are used to study semiclassical production of pions in the central region. The mechanism is related to the isospin-uniform…
It is expected that in a hot QCD system, a local parity-odd domain can be produced due to nonzero chirality, which is induced from the difference of winding numbers carried by the gluon topological configuration (QCD sphaleron). This local…
The phase structure of dense quark matter in the two color case has been investigated with nonzero baryon $\mu_B$, isospin $\mu_I$ and chiral isospin $\mu_{I5}$ chemical potentials. %in the framework of Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model with…
The magnitude of fluctuations between charged and neutral kaons measured by the ALICE Collaboration in heavy-ion collisions at the LHC exceeds conventional explanation. Here it is shown that if the scalar condensate, which is typically…
We show that the sudden quenching mechanism responsible for the production of the disoriented chiral condensate gives rise automatically to squeezed states. We compare the distribution of charged and neutral pions in the two extreme limits…
The effects of mode-mode and isospin-isospin correlations on nonequilibrium chiral dynamics are investigated by using the method of the time dependent variational approach with squeezed states as trial states. Our numerical simulations show…
Using the Langevin equation for the linear $\sigma$ model, we have investigated the effect of friction and noise on the possible disoriented chiral condensate formation. Friction and noise are supposed to suppress longwavelength…
We discuss two-pion correlations as a possible experimental probe into disoriented chiral condensates. In particular, we point out that the iso-singlet squeezed states of the BCS type have peculiar two-particle correlations in the…
A method based on sliding window scheme is developed to search for patches in the pseudorapidity-azimuth plane, on an event-by-event basis, having unusual fluctuation in the neutral pion fraction which may arise due to the formation of…
On the basis of the NJL model as an effective theory of QCD and analogies with condensed matter physics, we extract simple physical pictures of the chiral phase transition at finite temperature $T$ and/or chemical potential $\mu$ and…
