On magnetization of quark-gluon plasma at the LHC experiment energies

Abstract

Large scale chromomagnetic, B_3, B_8, and usual magnetic,H, fields have to be generated in QCD after the deconfinement phase transition (DPT) at temperatures T larger than deconfinement temperature T_d. The two former fields are created spontaneously due to asymptotic freedom of gluon intaractions. Whereas H is produced due to either the feature of quarks to possess both electric and color charges or a vacuum polarization in this case. At the polarization, the vacuum quark loops mix the external fields. As a result, B_3, B_8 become the sources generating H. The latter field appears at $T$ much lower than the electroweak phase transition temperature T_ew. This mechanism should exhibit itself at the LHC experiments on heavy ion collisions. It operates at the one-loop diagram level for an effective potential. The created fields are temperature dependent and occupying the macroscopic volume of quark-gluon plasma. The magnetization influences different processes and may serve as a signal for the DPT.
