Charge Fluctuations at Disoriented Chiral Transition

Abstract

The signatures of the creation of a disoriented chiral condensate in heavy-ion collisions are studied in the Ginzburg-Landau description of chiral phase transition. Scaling properties are found that characterize the fluctuations of charged particles. There exists also an explicitly calculable measure that can directly be measured. Experimental procedures needed to find the signatures are discussed.
