Study of Event-by-event Fluctuations in Heavy Ion Collisions
We propose Kolmogorov-Smirnov test as a means for recognising event-by-event fluctuations of rapidity distributions in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Such fluctuations may be induced by the spinodal decomposition of the rapidly expanding system during the 1st order quark-hadron phase transition.
متن کاملEvent-by-event Physics in Relativistic Heavy-ion Collisions
Motivated by forthcoming experiments at RHIC and LHC, and results from SPS, a review is given of the present state of event-by-event fluctuations in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. Fluctuations in particle multiplicities, ratios, transverse momenta, rapidity, etc. are calculated in participant nucleon as well as thermal models. The physical observables, including multiplicity, kaon to p...
متن کامل2 00 2 Event - by - event fluctuations in heavy ion collisions
We discuss the physics underlying event-by-event fluctuations in rel-ativistic heavy ion collisions. We will argue that the fluctuations of the ratio of positively over negatively charged particles may serve as a unique signature for the Quark Gluon Plasma.
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 ...
