Abstract
A new rapid hadronization scenario is proposed based on the dynamical chiral model including quarks interacting with background meson fields. We estimate time scales and spatial characteristics of chiral-symmetry breaking instabilities in expanding, nonthermal quark-gluon plasma. The transition from the chirally symmetric to broken state proceeds through the formation of multiquark-antiquark clusters, surrounded by domains of the coherent chiral field.Keywords
