Description

The phase structure of the QCD vacuum in a magnetic field H is investigated at low temperatures T. The free energy of the hadronic phase in a constant homogeneous magnetic field is calculated in the one-loop approximation of chiral perturbation theory. The quark and the gluon condensate are found as functions of temperature and the field strength. It is shown that the order parameter for the chiral phase transition remains constant when the temperature T and the magnetic field H change in such a way that H = const x T2
