Study of Event-by-event Fluctuations in Heavy Ion Collisions
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Received (received date) Revised (revised date) Large spatial density fluctuations in high-energy heavy-ion collisions can come from many sources: initial transverse density fluctuations, non-central collisions, phase transitions , surface tension, and fragmentations. The common presence of some of these sources in high-energy heavy-ion collisions suggests that large scale density fluctuations ...
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 quark – gluon string model
We apply dynamical string models of heavy–ions collisions at high energies to the analysis of event–by–event fluctuations. Main attention is devoted to a new variable proposed to study ”equilibration” in heavy–ions collisions. Recent results of the NA49 collaboration at CERN SPS are compared with predictions of the Quark–Gluon String Model (QGSM), which gives a good description of different asp...
متن کاملFluctuations and Correlations in STAR
The study of correlations and fluctuations can provide evidence for the production of the quarkgluon plasma (QGP) in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Various theories predict that the production of a QGP phase in relativistic heavy ion collisions could produce significant event-by-event correlations and fluctuations in, transverse momentum, multiplicity, etc. Some of the recent results using ...
متن کاملRecent results on event-by-event fluctuations in ALICE at the LHC
Non-statistical event-by-event fluctuations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions have been proposed as a probe of phase instabilities near the QCD phase transition. In a thermodynamical picture of the strongly interacting system formed in heavy-ion collisions, the fluctuations of the mean transverse momentum, mean multiplicity fluctuations, the balance function, higher moments of net-particle m...
