We discuss the effect of chiral anomaly as a possible mechanism for triggering formation of domains of disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The anomalous $\pi^0 \to 2 \gamma$ coupling and the strong,…
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…
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…
We discuss characteristic experimental signatures related to the mechanism of DCC formation triggered by the chiral U(1) anomaly in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We predict an enhancement of the fraction of neutral pions compared with…
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 model the evolution of the disoriented chiral condensate formed through both a sudden quench and through a phase transition with a metastable state of arbitrary disorientation . We show that the total multiplicity distributions of…
We discuss the various physics aspects of hypothetical, coherent excitations of the pion field caused by spontaneously generated local distortions of the chiral order parameter. Such distortions, which may occur in the expansion of a hot…
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 give two reasons why we believe that non-central ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions are the place to look for the disoriented chiral condensates (DCC). First, we argue that the most probable quench scenario for the formation of DCC…
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…
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…
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 demonstrate the possibility of forming a single, large domain of disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in a heavy-ion collision. In our scenario, rapid initial heating of the parton system provides a driving force for the chiral field,…
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 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…
We consider the quantum state describing theDisoriented Chiral Condensate (DCC), which may be produced in high energy collisions. We show how a mean field treatment of the quantum equations corresponding to the classical linear sigma model…
Wavelet-type methods are employed for the analysis of pion field configurations that have been obtained by dynamical simulations in idealized scenarios relevant to the formation of disoriented chiral condensates. It is illustrated how 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 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…
