Baryon Nuggets in Heavy Ion Collisions — •Kerstin Paech and Adrian Dumitru — Institut fuer Theoretische Physik Universität Frankfurt

We introduce a model for the real-time evolution of a relativistic fluid of quarks coupled to non-equilibrium dynamics of the long wavelength (classical) modes of the chiral condensate. We solve the equations of motion numerically in 3+1 space-time dimensions.

Starting the evolution at high temperature in the symmetric phase, we study dynamical trajectories that either cross the line of first-order phase transitions or evolve through its critical endpoint.

For those cases, we study the formation of baryon density fluctuations in dependence on different initial conditions.
