Abstract

The time evolution of a large-amplitude bubble of a disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) is studied. It is found that the evolution of such objects may have a relatively long predecay stage. A simple explanation of such a delay is proposed for the case of the DCC bubble decay. This delay is associated with the existence of approximate multisoliton solutions to the relevant radial sine-Gordon equation in (3+1) dimensions at a large bubble radius.
