We present results from MiniMax (Fermilab T-864), a small test/experiment at the Tevatron designed to search for the production of disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in $p - \bar p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.8$ TeV in the forward…
We report on the progress of a search for disoriented chiral condensates (DCCs) in the far forward region at sqrt(s)=1.8 TeV. MiniMax is a small collider experiment situated at the C0 interaction region of the Tevatron and has been designed…
A small test/experiment has been performed at the Fermilab Collider to measure charged particle and photon multiplicities in the forward direction, $\eta \approx 4.1$. The primary goal is to search for disoriented chiral condensate (DCC).…
In order to analyze data on joint charged-particle/photon distributions from an experimental search (T-864, MiniMax) for disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, we have identified robust observables, ratios of…
The restoration of chiral symmetry and its subsequent breaking through a phase transition has been predicted to create regions of Disoriented Chiral Condensates (DCC). This phenomenon has been predicted to cause anomalous fluctuations in…
It is thought that a region of pseudo-vacuum, where the chiral order parameter is misaligned from its vacuum orientation in isospin space, might occasionally form in high energy hadronic or nuclear collisions. The possible detection of such…
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…
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…
We present a novel method for studying the formation of a disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in high-energy hadronic and heavy-ion collisions utilizing a discrete wavelet transformation. Due to its salient feature of space-scale locality,…
We present predictions for the diffractive production of $\chi$ mesons in the central rapidity region usually covered by collider detectors. The predicted cross sections are based on the Bialas-Landshoff formalism for both exclusive and…
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…
A new method to search for localized domains of disoriented chiral condensates (DCC) has been proposed by utilising the (eta-phi) phase space distributions of charged particles and photons. Using the discrete wavelet transformation (DWT)…
Although the generation of disoriented chiral condensates (DCCs), where the order parameter for chiral symmetry breaking is misaligned with respect to the vacuum direction in isospin state, is quite natural in the theory of strong…
The CDF Forward Detector upgrade project was designed to enhance the capabilities for diffractive physics at the Tevatron. It consists of a Roman Pot spectrometer to detect leading antiprotons, a set of counters near and around the…
We have analyzed the joint charged particle to photon density correlations in WA98 experiment at CERN-SPS in order to study the formation of the chirally disoriented vacuum in Pb + Pb collisions at 158 AGeV. The method of analysis is based…
Disoriented Chiral Condensates (DCC) have been predicted to form in high energy heavy ion collisions where the approximate chiral symmetry of QCD has been restored. This leads to large imbalances in the production of charged to neutral…
This article presents recent results of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model using the CDF and the D$\not$O detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. All results shown correspond to analysis performed using the past 1992-1996…
The possible chiral phase transition in high energy heavy-ion collisions may lead to the formation of a disoriented chiral condensate (DCC). However, the existence of many uncorrelated small domains in the rather large interaction volume…
One of the main aims of present and upcoming high energy heavy ion collision experiments is to study new phases of matter at extreme temperature and density. It is expected that a nontrivial classical pion field configuration can…
Selected recent quantum chromodynamics (QCD) measurements are reviewed for Fermilab Run II Tevatron proton-antiproton collisions studied by the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and DZero Collaborations at a centre-of-mass energy of…
