Study of event-by-event fluctuations in heavy ion collisions

Nuclear Theory 2007-12-03 v1

Abstract

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.
