摘要:

我们研究了有限夸克化学势(μ>0)和零温(T=0)下的QCD磁化率chi,以探讨QCD真空的磁相变模式.为此,我们采用了非定域手征夸克模型,该模型是在手征极限化学势存在的情况下从瞬子真空导出的。对Nambu-Goldstone相的研究发现,磁化率在μ ~200 MeV附近基本保持稳定,在夸克化学势达到临界点μ_c~320 MeV之前,磁化率急剧下降。然后,chi的强度降低到约一半的mu=0,和一阶磁相变发生,对应于手征恢复。从这些观察中,我们得出结论,QCD真空的响应变得弱和不稳定的临界点附近的外部电磁场,在真空相比。研究还表明,由有限化学势引起的磁化率洛伦兹不变性的破坏是很小的。

英文摘要:

We investigate the QCD magnetic susceptibility chi at the finite quark-chemical potential (mu>0) and at zero temperature (T=0) to explore the pattern of the magnetic phase transition of the QCD vacuum. For this purpose, we employ the nonlocal chiral quark model derived from the instanton vacuum in the presence of the chemical potential in the chiral limit. Focusing on the Nambu-Goldstone phase, we find that the magnetic susceptibility remains almost stable to mu~200 MeV, and falls down drastically until the the quark-chemical potential reaches the critical point mu_c~320 MeV. Then, the strength of the chi is reduced to be about a half of that at mu=0, and the first-order magnetic phase transition takes place, corresponding to the chiral restoration. From these observations, we conclude that the response of the QCD vacuum becomes weak and unstable to the external electromagnetic field near the critical point, in comparison to that for vacuum. It is also shown that the breakdown of Lorentz invariance for the magnetic susceptibility, caused by the finite chemical potential, turns out to be small.
