Abstract
We obtain the general solutions of the nonlinear σ model in 3+1 dimensions as the candidates for the disoriented chiral condensate (DCC). The nonuniformly isospin-oriented solutions are shown to be related to the uniformly oriented ones through the chiral (axial) rotations. We discuss the pion charge distribution arising from these solutions. The distribution dP/df=1/(2 √f ) holds for the uniform solutions in general and the nonuniform solutions in the 1+1 boost-invariant case. For the nonuniform solution in 1+1 without boost invariance and in higher dimensions, the distribution does not hold in the integrated form. However, it is applicable to the pions selected from a small segment in the momentum phase space. We suggest that the nonuniform DCC’s may correspond to the mini-Centauro events. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
