چکیده
Density fluctuations and correlations due to a first-order quark-gluon plasma hadronic matter phase transition its critical end point, if they remain present after the evolution in heavy ion collisions, can lead an enhanced production of light nuclei these collisions. This would then result non-monotonic collision energy dependence yield ratio $$N_\text {t} N_\text {p} / {d}^2$$ proton number {p}$$ , deuteron {d}$$ triton {t}$$ . Measurements this as function thus provides possibility probe equation state strong-interaction diagram.

Searching Critical Values for Floating-Point Programs
Programs with floating-point computations are often derived from mathematical models or designed with the semantics of the real numbers in mind. However, for a given input, the computed path with floating-point numbers may significantly differ from the path corresponding to the same computation with real numbers. As a consequence, developers do not know whether the program can actually produce ...
متن کاملCritical Opalescence: An Optical Signature for a QCD Critical Point
Four possible scenarios are considered for a transition from a quark-gluon matter to hadronic matter, and their corresponding correlation signatures are discussed. Four criteria are highlighted for a definitive experimental search for a QCD critical point. An old-new experimental measure, the optical opacity (or its inverse the nuclear attenuation length) is determined, in terms of a combinatio...
متن کاملCritical-Point Structure in Finite Nuclei
Phase transitions associated with a change of shape are known to occur in dynamical systems such as nuclei. Recently, it has been recognized that such quantum shape-phase transitions are amenable to analytic descriptions at the critical points [1, 2]. For nuclei these analytic benchmarks of criticality were obtained in the geometric framework of a Bohr Hamiltonian for macroscopic quadrupole sha...
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 کاملHydrodynamic Evolution Near QCD Critical Point
Hydrodynamics is usually adequate to describe the collective flow phenomena in macroscopic systems where thermodynamical relations are valid locally. Surprisingly enough, sometimes the hydrodynamical description is also useful as a model to describe the collective phenomena in microscopic and semi-microscopic systems. In fact, the collective flow behavior of hot, dense matter produced in relati...
