We study the production of entropy in the context of a nonequilibrium chiral phase transition. The dynamical symmetry breaking is modeled by a Langevin equation for the order parameter coupled to the Bjorken dynamics of a quark plasma. We investigate the impact of dissipation and noise on the entropy and explore the possibility of reheating for crossover and first-order phase transitions, depending on the expansion rate of the fluid. The relative increase in S/N is estimated to range from 10% for a crossover to 200% for a first-order phase transition at low beam energies, which could be detected in the pion-to-proton ratio as a function of beam energy.

  1. Hydro+ in Action: Understanding the Out-of-Equilibrium Dynamics Near a Critical Point in the QCD Phase Diagram

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    First numerical implementation of Hydro+ in an expanding fireball shows critical fluctuations lag behind equilibrium, advect outward, and feed back only mildly on the bulk flow in this simplified model.
