Experimental Signatures of Anomaly Induced DCC Formation

We discuss possible experimental signatures related to the formation of domains of disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) triggered by the axial anomaly in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Our predictions make use of the feature of the anomaly effect that is coherent over a large region of space, but opposite in sign above and below the ion scattering plane. We predict an enhancement of the fraction of neutral pions compared to all pions, which depends on the angle of emission with respect to the scattering plane and is concentrated at small transverse momentum and small rapidity in the center-of-mass frame.
