Strange Disoriented Chiral Condensate

Abstract

Disoriented chiral condensate can produce novel fluctuations of kaons as well as pions. Robust statistical observables can be used to extract the novel fluctuations from background contributions in K-short and K-charged correlation measurements in nuclear collisions. To illustrate how this can be done, I present new event-generator computations of these observables.
