Phys.org  March 19, 2024 The cascades of particles produced by the fragmentation of supposedly entangled particles emitted from high energy particle collisions should allow testing the real-time response of the QCD vacuum disturbed by the propagation of high-momentum color charges. A team of researchers in the US (Stony Brook University, Brook Haven National Laboratory) developed fully quantum simulations of a massive Schwinger model coupled to external sources representing quark and antiquark jets as produced in e+e− annihilation. They studied the modification of the vacuum chiral condensate by the propagating jets and the quantum entanglement between the fragmenting jets. Their results […]
