Observing Disoriented Chiral Condensates
We speculate that, in very high energy hadronic collisions, large fireballs may be produced with interiors which have anomalous chiral order parameters. Such a process would result in radiation of pions with distinctive momentum and isospin distributions, and may provide an explanation of Centauro and related phenomena in cosmic-ray events. The phenomenology of such events is reviewed, with emp...
متن کاملΦ-measure and Disoriented chiral condensates
Fluctuations in the ratio of neutral to charged pions arising due to formation of disoriented chiral condensates (DCC) are discussed using the Φ-measure. The properties of the measure for various cases of DCC and non-DCC are discussed. The effect of detector efficiencies and other experimental factors are presented. Application of the Φ-measure to simulated data, within the context of a simple ...
متن کاملSearch for DCC in relativistic heavy-ion collisions : Possibilities and Limitations
The experimental observation of disoriented chiral condensate is affected due to various physical and detector related effects. We study and quantify the strength of the experimental signal, “neutral pion fraction” within the framework of a simple DCC model, using the analysis methods based on the multiresolution discrete wavelet technique and by evaluating the signal to background ratio. The s...
متن کاملOut-of-equilibrium Photon Production from Disoriented Chiral Condensates
We study the production of photons through the non-equilibrium relaxation of a disoriented chiral condensate. We propose that to search for nonequilibrium photons in the direct photon measurements of heavy-ion collisions can be a potential test of the formation of disoriented chiral condensates.

متن کاملDisoriented Chiral Condensates in Hadron-Hadron Collisions
We review recent progress in the description and understanding of disoriented chiral condensates. Certain important unsolved issues are underlined, and the preliminary results of our program of investigation of these issues in the framework of the classical linear sigma model are reported. We also briefly review a formalism which could be useful at the full non-equilibrium quantum field theory ...
