Mm. Forbes et A. Zhitnitsky, Primordial galactic magnetic fields from domain walls at the QCD phase transition, PHYS REV L, 85(25), 2000, pp. 5268-5271
We propose a mechanism to generate large-scale magnetic fields with correla
tion Lengths of 100 kpc. Domain walls with QCD-scale internal structure for
m and coalesce, obtaining Hubble-scale correlations while aligning nucleon
spins. Because of strong CP violation, the walls are ferromagnetic, which i
nduces electromagnetic fields with Hubble-size correlations. The CP violati
on also induces a maximal helicity (Chern-Simons) which supports an "invers
e cascade," allowing the initial correlations to grow to 100 kpc today. We
estimate the generated electromagnetic fields in terms of the QCD parameter
s and discuss the effects of the resulting fields.
