Condensation in the Feynman--Wilson fluid: upsilon, psi, and Centauro. [Amplitudes, condensation in rapidity and charge variables, symmetry breaking, S matrix]
Richard C. Arnold · 1977
High multiplicity hadron production amplitudes with long-range rapidity correlations from Regge cuts can exhibit dramatic condensation phenomena in rapidity and charge variables. The rapidity structures would appear as metastable heavy hadrons such as Upsilon or Psi. Charge-space condensation (spontaneous symmetry breakdown) would produce phenomena resembling observed ''Centauro'' cosmic-ray events. The conditions necessary for appearance of such phenomena are linked to the conditions for generating electromagnetic and weak interactions through spontaneous strong-interaction symmetry breakdown.
