Localized charged-neutral fluctuations in 158A GeV Pb+Pb collisions
2001
Localized fluctuations in the multiplicity of
charged particlesand photons produced in central 158A GeV/c Pb+Pb collisions are studied. The charged versus neutral correlations in common {eta}-{phi} phase space regions of varying
azimuthalsize are analyzed by two different methods. The analysis provides a model-independent demonstration of nonstatistical fluctuations in both
charged particleand photon multiplicities in limited
azimuthalregions. However, no correlated charge-neutral fluctuations are observed, contrary to expectations for the production of a disoriented chiral condensate. The result is not explained by the widely used VENUS model.
