Effects of mode-mode and isospin-isospin correlations on domain formation of disoriented chiral condensates

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 that large domains of the disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) are formed due to the combined effect of the mode-mode and isospin-isospin correlations. Moreover, it is found that, when the mode-mode correlation is included, the DCC domain formation is accompanied by the amplification of the quantum fluctuation, which implies the squeezing of the state. However, neither the DCC domain formation nor the amplification of the quantum fluctuation is observed if only the isospin-isospin correlation is included. This suggests that the mode-mode coupling plays a key role in the DCC domain formation.

Time-Evolution of a Collective Meson Field by the Use of a Squeezed State

A time-evolution of quantum meson fields is investigated in a linear sigma model by means of the time-dependent variational approach with a squeezed state. The chiral condensate, which is a mean field of the quantum meson fields, and quantum fluctuations around it are treated self-consistently in this approach. The attention is payed to the description of the relaxation process of the chiral condensate, where the energy stored in the mean field configuration flows to the fluctuation modes. It is shown that the quantum fluctuations play an important role to describe this relaxation process.
