Chiral Symmetry Restoration
Linked via "critical point"
In the context of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)), chiral symmetry ($SU(Nf)L \times SU(Nf)R$) exists only in the limit of zero quark masses. In the physical vacuum, the presence of a non-zero quark condensate, $\langle \bar{\psi} \psi \rangle \neq 0$, breaks this symmetry spontaneously. CSR) predicts that as temperature ($T$) increases beyond a critical temperature, $T_c$,…
