Can 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. We show that the Centauro-type effect is strongly suppressed if a large number of pions are produced in isovector pairs. Our conclusion is supported through the calculation of two pion correlation parameters, ${\mathit{f}}_2^{0\mathrm{-}}$ and ${\mathit{f}}_2^{00}$, as well as ${\mathit{f}}_{2,}$ ${\mathit{n}}_{\mathrm{-}}^0$ and the average number of neutral pions (〈${\mathit{n}}_0$ ${\mathrm{〉}}_{\mathit{n}\mathrm{-}}$) a a function of negative pions (${\mathit{n}}_{\mathrm{-}}$) produced.
