The source of the fluctuations in the final state particles is the initial event-by-event fluctuation in energy density. Forward-Backward (F-B) correlation is one of the important probes to study such fluctuations. The results of F-B…
Event-by-event hydrodynamics, with fluctuating initial conditions, has shown to nicely reproduce several features of experimentally observed quantities in high-energy nuclear collisions. Here we discuss how it may help to understand, in a…

It is pointed out that the recent data on charge fluctuations observed in heavy ion collisions are compatible with production of a system of weakly correlated constituent quarks and antiquarks.
We provide a critical overview of the $\Phi$ measure of fluctuations and correlations. In particular we show that its discriminating power is rather limited in situations encountered in experiment.
