We investigate proton rapidity correlations for a fireball that fragments due to non-equilibrium effects at the phase transition from deconfined to hadronic phase. Such effects include spinodal fragmentation in case of first order phase…

Present study is an attempt to have a detailed look into event-by-event(e-by-e) pseudorapidity fluctuations of the relativistic charged particles produced in $^{28}$Si-nucleus interactions at incident momenta 4.5A and 14.5A GeV/c.The method…
We propose that flow fluctuations have the same origin as transverse momentum fluctuations. The common source of these fluctuations is the spatially inhomogeneous initial state that drives hydrodynamic flow. Longitudinal correlations from…
Information transmission in cells occurs quite accurately even when concentration changes are "read" by individual target molecules. In this Letter we study molecule number fluctuations when molecules diffuse and react. We show that, for…
