The influence of chiral chemical potential, parallel electric and magnetic fields on the critical temperature of QCD
Abstract
We study the influence of external electric, E, and magnetic, B, fields parallel to each other, and of a chiral chemical potential, μ5, on the chiral phase transition of Quantum Chromodynamics. Our theoretical framework is a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with a contact interaction. Within this model we compute the critical temperature of chiral symmetry restoration, Tc, as a function of the chiral chemical potential and field strengths. We find that the fields inhibit and μ5 enhances chiral symmetry breaking, in agreement with previous studies.
