Description

We have studied possible formation of Θ vacua states in heavy ion collisions. Random phases of the chiral fields were evolved in a finite temperature potential, incorporating the breaking of UA(1) symmetry. Initial random phases very quickly settle into oscillation around the values dictated by the potential. The simulation study indicate that an initial Θ=0 state do not evolve into a Θ≠0 state. However, an initial Θ≠0 state, if formed in heavy ion collision, can survive, as a coherent superposition of a number of modes
