Abstract
Recently it was pointed out that coherent or condensated states of pio ns may account for the explanation of the Centauro events observed in cosmic ray showers. We argue that an occurrence of condensed pions req uires that the system evolves far out of thermal equilibrium. Besides an unusual charge ratio distribution we show that such a produced stat e also would lead to strong isospin correlations.
