Abstract
New laboratory probes for the occurence of meson condensation in nuclei are proposed. They involve experiments which detect the simultaneous emission of two photons. Pion condensation stimulates a new mechanism for such emission which depends essentially upon the ratio of the condensate amplitude to the vacuum expectation value of the effective scalar meson field. We exhibit the special features of this mechanism for the photon energy spectrum and angular correlation, and compare with other mechanisms.
