Anomalous Transverse Distribution of Pions as a signal for the production of DCC ’ s

We give evidence that the production of DCC’s during a nonequilibrium phase transition can lead to an anomalous transverse distribution of secondary pions when compared to a more conventional boost invariant hydrodynamic flow in local thermal equilibrium. Our results pertain to the linear σ model,treated in leading order in largeN , in a boost invariant approximation. We also show that the interpolating number density of the field theory calculation plays the role of a classical relativistic phase space number distribution in determining the momentum distribution of pions in the center of mass frame.
