We show how parametric resonance mechanism follows quench mechanism in the
classical linear sigma model. The parametric resonance amplifies long wavel
ength modes of the pion for more than 10 fm/c. The shifting from the quench
mechanism to the parametric resonance mechanism is described by a time dep
endent quantity. After the quench mechanism is over, that quantity has an o
scillating part, which causes the parametric resonance. Since its frequency
is 2m(pi) (m(pi) : pion mass), very long wavelength modes such as k = 40 M
eV of the pion are amplified by the parametric resonance. (C) 2001 Publishe
