Intermittency in the N-component φ4 theory

The effective 3D action of the N-component φ4 theory is adapted to the space-time hyperbolas of the critical multiparticle system, produced in relativistic ion collisions. In a systematic treatment of the ordered phase at T = Tc, a strong intermittency pattern, with a minimal scale in rapidity, naturally emerges. The connection of the solution to chiral QCD phase transition is emphasized and its phenomenological implications are...
