Description

We speculate that, in the interiors of large ''fireballs'' produced in very high-energy collisions, vacuum states of the strong interactions are produced with anomalous chiral order parameters. If true this can lead to anomalously large fluctuations in the charged-to-neutral ratio of produced hadrons (Centauro and anti-Centauro behavior). We also discuss strategies for an experimental search. (authors). 20 refs., 14 figs
