We present results from MiniMax (Fermilab T-864), a small test/experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron designed to search for the production of a disoriented chiral condensate (DCC) in p-p collisions at √(s)=1.8 TeV in the forward direction, \ensuremath∼3.4<\ensuremathη<\ensuremath∼4.2. Data, consisting of 1.3\ifmmode×\else\texttimes\fi106 events, are analyzed using the robust observables developed in an earlier paper. The results are consistent with generic, binomial-distribution partition of pions into charged and neutral species. Limits on DCC production in various models are presented.
