Baryon - Antibaryon Production by Disordered Chiral Condensates
Joseph I. Kapusta, Ajit M. Srivastava
We investigate the production of baryons and antibaryons in the central rapidity region of high energy nuclear collisions within the framework of the Skyrme model taking into accou…
The Proximal Chiral Phase Transition
Joseph I. Kapusta, Ajit M. Srivastava
We consider the form of the chiral symmetry breaking piece of the effective potential in the linear sigma model. Surprisingly, it allows for a second local minimum at both zero and…
Towards Observing the Intercommutation of Flux Tubes in Superconductors
Ajit M. Srivastava
We propose a simple experiment to investigate the intercommutation of flux tubes in type II superconductors. Using this method the intercommutation of strings can be observed direc…
Probing Gauge String Formation in a Superconducting Phase Transition
Serge Rudaz, Ajit M. Srivastava, Shikha Varma
Superconductors are the only experimentally accessible systems with spontaneously broken gauge symmetries which support topologically nontrivial defects, namely string defects. We…
