Phi-measure and Disoriented chiral condensates

Abstract

Fluctuations in the ratio of neutral to charged pions arising due to formation of disoriented chiral condensates (DCC) are discussed using the Phi-measure. The properties of the measure for various cases of DCC and non-DCC are discussed. The effect of detector efficiencies and other experimental factors are presented. Application of the Phi-measure to simulated data, within the context of a simple DCC model are also discussed.
