Abstract

We propose to use the theory of phase transitions of Lee and Yang as a practical tool to analyze long-range correlations in a finite-size system. We apply it to the analysis of anisotropic flow in nucleus-nucleus collisions, and show that this method is more reliable than any other used so far.
