The K/pi ratio from condensed Polyakov loops

O. Scavenius, A. Dumitru, J. T. Lenaghan

We perform a field-theoretical computation of hadron production in large systems at the QCD confinement phase transition associated with restoration of the Z(3) global symmetry. Th…

Explosive Decomposition in Ultrarelativistic Heavy Ion Collision

O. Scavenius, A. Dumitru, A. D. Jackson

Recent results from Au+Au collisions at BNL-RHIC energy hint at explosive hadron production at the QCD transition rather than soft hydrodynamic evolution. We speculate that this is…

Hydrodynamic Models for Heavy-Ion Collisions, and beyond

A. Dumitru, J. Brachmann, E. S. Fraga +5

A generic property of a first-order phase transition in equilibrium, and in the limit of large entropy per unit of conserved charge, is the smallness of the isentropic speed of sou…

First-Order Chiral Phase Transition in High-Energy Collisions: Can Nucleation Prevent Spinodal Decomposition?

O. Scavenius, A. Dumitru, E. S. Fraga +2

We discuss homogeneous nucleation in a first-order chiral phase transition within an effective field theory approach to low-energy QCD. Exact decay rates and bubble profiles are ob…

Chiral Phase Transition within Effective Models with Constituent Quarks

O. Scavenius, A. Mocsy, I. N. Mishustin +1

We investigate the chiral phase transition at nonzero temperature and baryon-chemical potential within the framework of the linear sigma model and the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio…

Nonlinear evolution of the momentum dependent condensates in strong interaction: the ``pseudoscalar laser''

Adrian Dumitru, Ove Scavenius

We discuss the relaxation of the scalar and pseudoscalar condensates after a rapid quench from an initial state with fluctuations. If we include not only the zero-mode but also hig…
