Introduce a possible method to describe it including higher order quantum effects
Some posibilities of dynamical process
Some of ways the process is classically represented .
③ Roll down to the sigma direction
Treat the chiral condensate and fluctuation modes around it self-consistently
Time dependent variational approach with a squeezed state or a Gaussian wavefunctional
R. Jackiw, A. Kerman (Phys.Lett. ,1979)
① Coherent displacement of chiral condensate
② Isospin rotation of chiral condensateWe ivestigate ・・・
Disoriented Chiral Condensate ( DCC)
Production or Decay of DCC ⇒ Time evolution of chiral cndensat
e in quatum fluctuations ⇒ amplitudes of quantum fluctuation
modes are not so small ・・・ amplification of quantum meson modes
It is necessary to treat the time evolution of chiral condensate (mean field) and quantum meson modes (fluctuations) appropriately (not perturbatively)
Our Method
―Dynamical Chiral Phase Transition ・・・ How to describe the time evolution of c
hiral condensate (mean field) in quantum meson modes self-consistently ?
―Nuclear Many-Body Problems ・・・ Is it possible to apply the methods deve
loped in microscopic theories of collective motion in nucleus to quantum field theories ?

cf.) centrifugal force
q2 < 0…existence of critical q ⇒ restoration of chiral symmetry Quantum effects lead to more rapid change of chiral condensate
