A general expression is discussed for pion probability distributions coming from relativistic heavy ion collisions. The general expression contains as limits: 1) The disoriented chiral condensate (DCC), 2) the negative binomial distribution…
The probability distribution in $R$, the proportion of neutral pions to all pions emitted in heavy ion collisions in certain kinematic regions, has been suggested as a signal of a disoriented chiral condensate (D$\chi$C). Here we note that…
We suggest two methods for the detection of the formation of disoriented chiral condensates in heavy ion collisions. We show that the variance in the number of charged pions (in a suitable range of momentum space) provides a signature for…
The probability distribution of neutral pion fraction from independent domains of disoriented chiral condensate is characterized. The signal for the condensate is clear for a small number of domains but is greatly reduced for more than…
We derive a quantum state of the disoriented chiral condensate dynamically, considering small quantum fluctuations around a classical chiral condensate disoriented in a certain direction $ \vec n $ in isospace. The obtained nonisosinglet…
The probability distribution of a neutral pion fraction from independent domains of disoriented chiral condensate is characterized. The signal for the condensate is still clear for a large number of independent domains if one of them is…
It is possible that isospin violating dynamical effects are amplified due to coherence if a disoriented chiral condensate (or other source of a coherent pion state) is formed in a heavy ion collison. It is shown explicitly that altering the…
The posibility of large charge and isospin fluctuations in high-energy heavy ion-collisions is studied within the framework of the nonlinear $\sigma $-model with quark degrees of freedom. The multipion exchange potential between two quarks…
We examine the validity of the notion of the coherent state for pions and the quantum scattering effect in the final state of pion emission. When the number of particles is large, the effect caused by the small but finite mass difference…
We show that the sudden quenching mechanism responsible for the production of the disoriented chiral condensate gives rise automatically to squeezed states. We compare the distribution of charged and neutral pions in the two extreme limits…
High energy reactions may produce a state around the collision point that is best described by a classical pion field. Such a field might be an isospin rotated vacuum of the chiral $\sigma$-model or, as discussed in this work, a solution of…
We consider isospin correlations of pions produced in a relativistic nuclear collision, using an effective theory of the chiral order parameter. Our theory has (1+1) Lorentz invariance as appropriate for the central rapidity region. We…
We study the creation of disoriented chiral condensates with some initial boundary conditions that may be expected in the relativistic heavy ion collisions. The equations of motion in the linear $\sigma$-model are solved numerically with…
With two degenerate quarks, the chiral condensate exhibits a jump as the quark masses pass through zero. I discuss how this single transition splits into two Ising like transitions when the quarks are made non-degenerate. The order…
The leading-particle effect and the factorization property of the scattering amplitude in the impact parameter space are used to study semiclassical production of pions in the central region. The mechanism is related to the isospin-uniform…
We study a recent proposal to observe the disoriented chiral condensate in high energy collisions. In order to produce a large fluctuation in pion probability distribution, a large size of the correlated region is essential. We study the…
We show that an event-by-event fluctuation of the ratio of neutral pions or resulting photons to charged pions can be used as an effective probe for the formation of disoriented chiral condensates. The fact that the neutral pion fraction…
A recent chiral perturbation theory calculation of the in-medium quark condensate $<\bar q q>$ is extended to the isospin-asymmetric case of pure neutron matter. In contrast to the behavior in isospin-symmetric nuclear matter we find only…
Isospin asymmetry is the well-known property of dense quark matter, which exists in the compact stars and is produced in heavy ion collisions. On the other hand, the chiral imbalance between left- and right-handed quarks is another highly…
Enhancement of omega and antiomega baryon production in Pb+Pb collisions at a c.m. energy of 17 A GeV can be explained by the formation of many small disoriented chiral condensate regions. This explanation implies that neutral and charged…
