Domain Growth and Ordering Kinetics in Dense Quark Matter

Abstract

The kinetics of chiral transitions in quark matter is studied in a two flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. We focus on the phase ordering dynamics subsequent to a temperature quench from the massless quark phase to the massive quark phase. We study the dynamics by considering a phenomenological model (Ginzburg-Landau free-energy functional). The morphology of the ordering system is characterized by the scaling of the order-parameter correlation function.
