Cluster Structure of Disoriented Chiral Condensates in Rapidity Distribution
We study the creation of disoriented chiral condensates with some initial
boundary conditions that may be expected in the relativistic heavy ion
collisions. The equations of motion in the linear -model are solved
numerically with and without a Lorentz-boost invariance. We suggest that a
distinct cluster structure of coherent pion production in the rapidity
distribution may emerge due to a quench and may be observed in experiments.Comment: 10 pages in LaTex, 2 uuencoded ps figures, LBL-3493
Signals of Disoriented Chiral Condensate
If a disoriented chiral condensate is created over an extended space-time
region following a rapid cooling in hadronic or nuclear collisions, the
misalignment of the condensate with the electroweak symmetry breaking can
generate observable effects in the processes which involve both strong and
electromagnetic interactions. We point out the relevance of the dilepton decay
of light vector mesons as a signal for formation of the disoriented condensate.
We predict that the decay \rho^0 to dileptons will be suppressed and/or the
\rho resonance peak widens, while the decay \omega to dileptons will not be
affected by the condensate.Comment: 13 pages in LaTeX, UCB-PTH-94/05, LBL-3533
Some Properties of a Transient New Coherent Condition of Matter Formed in High--Energy Hadronic Collisions
We investigate the dynamical possibility for the formation of a transient new
coherent condition of matter in high--energy hadronic collisions. The coherent
bosonic amplitude is characterized by a non--zero momentum and is sustained by
--wave interactions of quasi--pions in a dense fermionic medium. We make
quantitative estimates of several essential properties: the condensate momentum
and the fermionic density, the size of the coherent amplitude and the negative
energy density contributed by the condensate, a characteristic proper time for
the system to exist prior to breakdown into a few pions, and a characteristic
extension of the system over the plane perpendicular to the collision axis.
These quantities then allow us to make definite estimates of new signals: a few
pions with anomalously small transverse momenta MeV/c; and a
possible anomalous bremsstrahlung of very soft photons with characteristic
transverse momenta as low as about 4 MeV/c.Comment: 23 pages, LaTeX. A complete postscript file is available via

Leading particle effect, inelasticity and the connection between average multiplicities in {\bf } and {\bf } processes
The Regge-Mueller formalism is used to describe the inclusive spectrum of the
proton in collisions. From such a description the energy dependences of
both average inelasticity and leading proton multiplicity are calculated. These
quantities are then used to establish the connection between the average
charged particle multiplicities measured in {\bf } and {\bf } processes. The description obtained for the leading proton cross section
implies that Feynman scaling is strongly violated only at the extreme values of
, that is at the central region () and at the diffraction
region (), while it is approximately observed in the
intermediate region of the spectrum.Comment: 20 pages, 10 figures, to be published in Physical Review
Calculation of the Flux of Atmospheric Neutrinos
Atmospheric neutrino-fluxes are calculated over the wide energy range from 30
MeV to 3,000 GeV for the study of neutrino-physics using the data from
underground neutrino-detectors. The atmospheric muon-flux at high altitude and
at sea level is studied to calibrate the neutrino-fluxes at low energies and
high energies respectively. The agreement of our calculation with observations
is satisfactory. The uncertainty of atmospheric neutrino-fluxes is also
studied.Comment: 51 page
Relativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions and the QCD Matter Phase Diagram
This review will be concerned with our knowledge of extended matter under the
governance of strong interaction, in short: QCD matter. Strictly speaking, the
hadrons are representing the first layer of extended QCD architecture. In fact
we encounter the characteristic phenomena of confinement as distances grow to
the scale of 1 fm (i.e. hadron size): loss of the chiral symmetry property of
the elementary QCD Lagrangian via non-perturbative generation of "massive"
quark and gluon condensates, that replace the bare QCD vacuum. However, given
such first experiences of transition from short range perturbative QCD
phenomena (jet physics etc.), toward extended, non perturbative QCD hadron
structure, we shall proceed here to systems with dimensions far exceeding the
force range: matter in the interior of heavy nuclei, or in neutron stars, and
primordial matter in the cosmological era from electro-weak decoupling (10^-12
s) to hadron formation (0.5 10^-5 s). This primordial matter, prior to
hadronization, should be deconfined in its QCD sector, forming a plasma (i.e.
color conducting) state of quarks and gluons: the Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP).Comment: 146 pages, 83 figure
