Chiral-symmetry restoration in the linear sigma model at nonzero temperature and baryon density

preprint1997arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the chiral phase transition in the linear sigma model with 2 quark flavors and NcN_c colors. One-loop calculations predict a first-order phase transition at both μ=0μ=0 and μ≠0μ\neq 0. We also discuss the phase diagram and make a comparison with a thermal parametrization of existing heavy-ion experimental data.
