Introduction and Motivation
Chiral Phase Transitions
Relativistic Heavy Ion Collision
Some posibilities of dynamical process

Chiral symmetric phase
Symmetry broken phase
Dynamical Chiral Phase
Transition
Introduce a possible method to describe it
including higher order quantum effects
Some of ways the process is classically represented
① Coherent displacement of chiral
condensate
We ivestigate ・・・
② Isospin rotation of chiral condensate
③ Roll down to the sigma direction
Treat the chiral condensate and fluctuation
modes around it self-consistently
R. Jackiw, A. Kerman (Phys.Lett. ,1979)
Time dependent variational approach with a squeezed state
or a Gaussian wavefunctional
.
Disoriented Chiral Condensate (DCC)
Production or Decay of DCC
⇒Time evolution of chiral cndensate
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 chiral
condensate (mean field) in quantum meson
modes self-consistently ?
―Nuclear Many-Body Problems
・・・Is it possible to apply the methods developed
in microscopic theories of collective motion in
nucleus to quantum field theories ?
