Pions emerging from an Arbitrarily Disoriented Chiral Condensate

Abstract

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 charged and neutral pions functions are dramatic characteristic signals for the DCC and are related directly to the way in which the DCC forms. © 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd.
