On semi-classical pion production in heavy ion collisions

Abstract

In high energy heavy ion collisions the pion multiplicity is large, and one might expect that pions are radiated semi-classically. The axial symmetry of the collision and approximately zero isotopic spin of the colliding nuclei result then in peculiar isotopic spin -- azimuth correlations of the produced pions. These correlations are easy to test -- and should be tested.
