Induced theta vacua in heavy ion collisions

In the following we demonstrate that it is possible to create non-zero θ-states during heavy ion collisions. Using the effective Lagrangian for low energy QCD derived in [1, 2], we will show numerically that in the period immediately following a quench, the chiral condensate phases fa and fa will r...
