Dynamical formation of center domains in quark-gluon plasma
arXiv:1704.02104 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.95.034903
Abstract
We study the formation of domain structures due to spontaneous breakdown of center symmetry at high temperatures in quenched QCD. We develop a phenomenological model for the explicit propagation of the Polyakov loop as the relevant order parameter of the deconfinement phase transition. The surface tension in the equation of motion is fit in comparison with lattice QCD data. Results give insight into the dynamical formation of center domains as well as the formation of energy bands along domain walls and let us estimate the required time to form such structures above the critical temperature.
