Density Perturbations in Heavy-Ion Collisions below the Critical Point
Universality arguments suggest that the chiral phase transition for two massless quark flavors is second-order at baryon-chemical potential μB = 0 [1], which then becomes a crossover for small quark masses. On the other hand, a first-order phase transition is predicted by a variety of low-energy effective theories for small temperature T and large μB [2]. Hence, the first-order phase transition...
متن کاملCritical Point Multiplicities and Multiplicity Fluctuations in Heavy Ion Collisions
An exactly solvable model of nuclear fragmentation is shown to lead to a simple connection between the critical point multiplicity m c and the critical point exponent τ recently reported on in the EOS collaboration. The importance of multiplicity fluctuations on critical point behavior is also discussed.
متن کاملModeling Magnetic Field in Heavy ion Collisions Using Two Different Nuclear Charge Density Distributions
By studying the properties of matter during heavy-ion collisions, a better understanding of the Quark-Gluon plasma is possible. One of the main areas of this study is the calculation of the magnetic field, particularly how the values of conductivity affects this field and how the field strength changes with proper time. In matching the theoretical calculations with results obtained in lab, two diffe...
متن کاملEvent-by-Event Fluctuations in Heavy Ion Collisions and the QCD Critical Point
The event-by-event fluctuations of suitably chosen observables in heavy ion collisions can teach us much about the thermodynamic properties of the hadronic system at the time interactions freeze out. By studying these fluctuations as a function of varying control parameters like collision energy, centrality, ion size and rapidity, it is possible to learn much about the phase diagram of QCD. As ...
متن کاملQCD critical point and event-by-event fluctuations in heavy ion collisions
The goal of this work is to motivate a program of heavy ion collision experiments aimed at discovering an important qualitative feature of the QCD phase diagram — the critical point at which a line of first order phase transitions separating quark-gluon plasma from hadronic matter ends [1] (see Fig. 1). The possible existence of such an endpoint E has recently been emphasized and its universal ...
