Anomalous kaon correlations in heavy-ion collisions at LHC
ORAL
Abstract
As the quark-gluon plasma formed in heavy-ion collisions expands and cools, the approximate chiral symmetry is broken leading to formation of chiral condensates. The energy released in this condensation could lead to anomalous correlations in isospin fluctuations. Recently, the ALICE collaboration reported measuring such anomalous correlations in the kaon sector. In this talk I will discuss this measurement and show how less exotic statistical models cannot reproduce it. Energy from the strange quark condensation could be sufficient to explain it.
