Out of Equilibrium Phase Transitions and a Toy Model for Disoriented Chiral Condensates

Abstract

We study the dynamics of a second order phase transition in a situation thatmimics a sudden quench to a temperature below the critical temperature in a model with dynamical symmetry breaking. In particular we show that the domains of correlated values of the condensate grow as $\sqrt{t}$ and that this result seems to be largely model independent.
