Baryon - Antibaryon Production by Disordered Chiral Condensates
arXiv:hep-ph/9404356 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.52.2977
Abstract
We investigate the production of baryons and antibaryons in the central rapidity region of high energy nuclear collisions within the framework of the Skyrme model taking into account the effects of explicit chiral symmetry breaking. We argue that the formation of disordered chiral condensates may lead to enhanced baryon-antibaryon production at low transverse momentum.
