Hadronic Fluctuations and Correlations
نویسنده
چکیده
We will provide a review of some of the physics which can be addressed by studying fluctuations and correlations in heavy ion collisions. We will discuss Lattice QCD results on fluctuations and correlations and will put them into context with observables which have been measured in heavy-ion collisions. Special attention will be given to the QCD critical point and the first order co-existence region, and we will discuss how the measurement of fluctuations and correlations can help in an experimental search for non-trivial structures in the QCD phase diagram.

Quark Correlations Inside Hadrons And Single Diffraction
Hadron structure is considered in the frame of Strongly Correlated Quark Model (SCQM). It is shown that quark correlations result in fluctuations of hadronic matter distributions and single diffractive dissociation processes in hadronic collisions, hard or soft, are manifestation of these fluctuations inside colliding hadrons.
متن کاملThe Fast Simulation of Electromagnetic
A program for the fast simulation of electromagnetic and hadronic showers using parameterizations for the longitudinal and lateral profile is described. The fluctuations and correlations of the parameters are taken into account in a consistent way. Comparisons with data over a wide energy range are made. Invited talk presented at the SSC Workshop on Calorimetry for the Superconducting Super Col...
متن کاملCharge Correlations in Heavy Ion Collisions
The view to the quark gluon plasma phase (QGP) in heavy ion collisions is obscured by events taking place later on. One way around this is to focus on conserved charges, such as electric charge, baryon number or strangeness.1,2 Later evolution can only change these charges locally, through pair creation or annihilation, but charge fluctuations with long enough wavelengths will remain unchanged....
متن کاملBOSE-EINSTEIN CORRELATIONS IN PION PRODUCTION AT TRISTAN
Measurement of Bose-Einstein correlations in the production of like-signed pion pairs has been made with the AMY detector at TRISTAN. An event sample of 10120 hadronic events with ranging between 50 to 61 GeV was used. These measurements indicate a strength of the enhancement of ? = 0.61M.07, with a typical correlation size of Ro = 1.16±.08 fm. This value of ? is consistent with measurem...
متن کاملOn Transverse Momentum Event–by–Event Fluctuations in String Hadronic Models
Transverse momentum event–by–event fluctuations are studied within the string– hadronic model of high energy nuclear collisions, LUCIAE. Data on non–statistical pT fluctuations in p+p interactions are reproduced. Fluctuations of similar magnitude are predicted for nucleus–nucleus collisions, in contradiction to the preliminary NA49 results. The introduction of a string clustering mechanism (Fir...
