Centauro- and anti-Centauro-type events.

چکیده
Assuming that leading particles in high-energy hadronic and nuclear collisions become sources of a classical pion field, we show that the direct production of pions favors Centauro ( mainly charged ) events and that the production of pions through the ρ-type channel favors anti-Centauro ( mainly neutral ) events. We also observe a strong negative neutral-charged correlation in both cases. 1 e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address:[email protected]

Centauro as Probe of Deeply Penetrating Component in Cosmic Rays
The Centauro and mini-Centauro events, characterized by the extreme imbalance between hadronic and gamma-ray components among the produced secondaries [1], are the best known examples of numerous unusual events reported in Cosmic Ray (CR) experiments [2]. There are numerous attempts to explain them as: (i) different types of isospin fluctuations or formation of disoriented chiral condensate (DC...
متن کاملIsospin Coherence and Final - State Scattering ofDisoriented Chiral Condensate
We examine the validity of the notion of the coherent state for pions and the quantum scattering eeect in the nal state of pion emission. When the number of particles is large, the eeect caused by the small but nite mass difference between the neutral and charged pions can add up substantially in the quantum evolution of an initially coherent state. As a result, the states with quite diierent n...
متن کاملCan pions created in high-energy heavy-ion collisions produce a Centauro-type effect?
We study a Centauro-type phenomenon in high-energy heavy-ion collisions by assuming that pions are produced semiclassically both directly and in pairs through the isovector channel. The leading-particle effect and the factorization property of the scattering amplitude in the impact-parameter space are used to define the classical pion field. By analyzing the joint probability function P II 3 (n...
متن کاملObserving Disoriented Chiral Condensates
We speculate that, in very high energy hadronic collisions, large fireballs may be produced with interiors which have anomalous chiral order parameters. Such a process would result in radiation of pions with distinctive momentum and isospin distributions, and may provide an explanation of Centauro and related phenomena in cosmic-ray events. The phenomenology of such events is reviewed, with emp...
متن کاملParticle production in very-high-energy cosmic-ray emulsion chamber events: Usual and unusual events.
We show that a simple scaling model of very forward particle production, consistent with accelerator and air shower data, can describe all features of the very high-energy interactions recorded with emulsion chambers. This is somewhat surprising after numerous claims that the same data implied large scaling violations or new dynamics. Interestingly, we cannot describe some of the Centauro event...
