We draw an analogy between the deconfining transition in the (2+1)-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model and the chiral phase transition in (3+1)-dimensional QCD. Based on the detailed analysis of the former we suggest that the chiral symmetry restoration in QCD at high temperature is driven by the thermal ensemble of baryons and antibaryons. The chiral symmetry is restored when roughly half of the volume is occupied by the baryons. Surprisingly enough, even though baryons are rather heavy, a crude estimate for the critical temperature gives T-c=180 MeV. In this scenario the binding of the instantons is not the cause but rather a consequence of the chiral symmetry restoration.

Deconfinement at N > 2: SU(N) Georgi-Glashow model in 2+1 dimensions Kogan, II; Tekin, Bayram; Kovner, A (2001-05-01) We analyse the deconfining phase transition in the SU(N) Georgi-Glashow model in 2 + 1 dimensions. We show that the phase transition is second order for any N, and the universality class is different from the Z(N) invariant Villain model. At large N the conformal theory describing the fixed point is a deformed SU(N)(1) WZNW model which has N - 1 massless fields. It is therefore likely that its self-dual infrared fixed point is described by the Fateev-Zamolodchikov theory of Z(N) parafermions.
Axial shear instability in a "tachion" region Tsidulko, YA; Marji, E; Bilikmen, S; Mirnov, VV; Cakir, S; Oke, G (1999-01-01) Plasma axial-shear flow instability arises due to a variation in an equilibrium E x B rotation along the axial direction in which the magnetic field is aligned. The two fluid MHD equations for incompressible perturbation (taking into account the FLR effects) being treated in WKB approximation in transversal direction yield one scalar Klein-Gordon type equation with one-dimensional effective potential U(s) and effective mass on(s). Only axisymmetric, paraxial geometry is analyzed in order to separate the des...
Measurement of the B-s(0) Production Cross Section with B-s(0) -> J/psi phi Decays in pp Collisions at root s=7 TeV Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (2011-09-01) The B-s(0) differential production cross section is measured as functions of the transverse momentum and rapidity in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV, using the B-s(0) -> J/psi phi decay, and compared with predictions based on perturbative QCD calculations at next-to-leading order. The data sample, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 40 pb(-1). The B-s(0) is reconstructed from the decays J/psi -> mu+mu- and phi -> K+K-. The integrated B-s(0) cross section ti...
Deconfining phase transition in 2+1 D: the Georgi-Glashow model Dunne, G; Kogan, II; Kovner, A; Tekin, Bayram (2001-01-01) We analyze the finite temperature deconfining phase transition in (2 +1)-dimensional Georgi-Glashow model. We show explicitly that the transition is due to the restoration of the magnetic Z(2) symmetry and that it is in the Ising universality class. We find that neglecting effects of the charged W bosons leads to incorrect predictions for the value of the critical temperature and the universality class of the transition, as well as for various correlation functions in the high temperature phase. We derive t...
FORCED HARMONIC RESPONSE ANALYSIS OF NONLINEAR STRUCTURES USING DESCRIBING FUNCTIONS TANRIKULU, O; KURAN, B; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; IMREGUN, M (1993-07-01) The dynamic response of multiple-degree-of-freedom nonlinear structures is usually determined by numerical integration of the equations of motion, an approach which is computationally very expensive for steady-state response analysis of large structures. In this paper, an alternative semianalytical quasilinear method based on the describing function formulation is proposed for the harmonic response analysis of structures with symmetrical nonlinearities. The equations of motion are converted to a set of nonl...
