Nonequilibrium evolution of a “tsunami,” a high multiplicity initial quantum state: Dynamical symmetry breaking

Nonequilibrium evolution of a “tsunami,” a high multiplicity initial quantum state: Dynamical symmetry breaking

We propose to study the nonequilibrium features of heavy-ion collisions by following the evolution of an initial state with a large number of quanta with a distribution around a momentum $|{k}_{0}|$ corresponding to a thin spherical shell in momentum space, a ``tsunami.'' An $O(N)({\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{\ensuremath{\Phi}}}^{2}{)}^{2}$ model field theory in the large …
