The QCD Mixed Phase: Shaken, not Stirred

arXiv:nucl-th/0103076 · doi:10.1016/S0375-9474(01)01420-8

Abstract

Baryon fluctuations exceeding Poisson expectations can signal a nearly first order phase transition at RHIC. We show how these fluctuations can be measured, and apply a dissipative-hydrodynamic formulation used in condensed matter physics to simulate their evolution.
