LARGER DOMAINS OF DISORIENTED CHIRAL CONDENSATE THROUGH ANNEALING

Relativistic heavy ion collisions can generate metastable domains in w hich the chiral condensate is disoriented. Nucleus-sized domains can y ield measurable fluctuations in the number of neutral and charged pion s. We propose a scenario in which domains are ''annealed'' by a dynami cally evolving effective potential in the heavy ion system. Domains of sizes exceeding 3 fm are possible in this scenario.
