Abstract

We calculate the genuine long-range multi-particle rapidity correlation functions, Cn(y1,...,yn)C_{n}(y_1,...,y_n) for n=3,4,5,6n=3,4,5,6, originating from fluctuations of the fireball longitudinal shape. In these correlation functions any contribution from the short-range two-particle correlations, and in general up to (n1)(n-1)-particle in CnC_n, is suppressed. The information about the fluctuating fireball shape in rapidity is encoded in the cumulants of coefficients of the orthogonal polynomial expansion of particle distributions in rapidity.
