We show that the variance in the number of charged pions (in a suitable range of momentum space) provides a signature for the observation of a disoriented chiral condensate (D$\chi$C). The signal should be observable even if multiple…

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…
It is argued that distribution over the number of charged and neutral soft chiral pions are very broad if they are emitted coherently.
Fluctuations in the ratio of neutral to charged pions arising due to formation of disoriented chiral condensates (DCC) are discussed using the Phi-measure. The properties of the measure for various cases of DCC and non-DCC are discussed.…
