Charge fluctuations in a quark anti-quark system

It is pointed out that the recent data on charge fluctuations observed in heavy ion collisions are compatible with production of a system of weakly correlated constituent quarks and antiquarks.

quark antiquark: correlation function
scattering: heavy ion
charge: fluctuation
quark: coalescence
quark gluon: plasma
