✦ Synopsis

High-energy nucleus-nucleus collisions may produce extended regions of space within which chiral symmetry is temporarily nearly restored. The subsequent non-equilibrium relaxation towards the normal vacuum may then produce disoriented chiral condensates: isospin-directed oscillations of the pion field. The conditions for the occurrence of this novel phenomenon and some of its observational consequences are discussed.

The present knowledge on hard processes in the context of heavy ion collisions is reviewed, with particular emphasis on J/¢ production. The p-A data on charmonia production from Fermilab experiments is shown to be in excelent agreement with the p-A data collected at CERN. The simultaneous analysis o
