متن کاملCorrelation Probes of a QCD Critical Point
Critical opalescence is a characteristic experimental signature of a second order phase transition in solid state physics. A new, experimentally accessible measure of opacity and of attenuation length in heavy ion reactions is suggested, as a combination of HBT radii and nuclear modification factors. This opacity is maximal when √ sNN , the system size and centrality correspond to the critical ...
متن کاملProspects of detecting the QCD critical point
We investigate the possibility to observe the QCD critical point in A + A collisions at the SPS. Guided by the QCD phase diagram expressed in experimentally accessible variables we suggest that the process C +C at 158 GeV /n freezes out very close to the critical point. We perform an analysis of the available preliminary experimental data for a variety of SPS processes. The basic tool in our ef...
متن کاملHow to Find the Qcd Critical Point
The event-by-event fluctuations in heavy ion collisions carry information about the thermodynamic properties of the hadronic system at the time of freeze-out. By studying these fluctuations as a function of varying control parameters, such as the collision energy, it is possible to learn much about the phase diagram of QCD. As a timely example, we stress the methods by which present experiments...
متن کاملInflection-point Higgs Inflation
Inflection-point inflation is an interesting possibility to realize a successful slow-roll inflation when inflation is driven by a single scalar field with its initial value below the Planck mass (φI . MP l). In order for a renormalization group (RG) improved effective λφ4 potential to develop an inflection-point, the quartic coupling λ(φ) must exhibit a minimum with an almost vanishing value i...
