Transverse momentum versus multiplicity fluctuations in high-energy nuclear collisions
arXiv:nucl-th/0407012 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.70.054906
Abstract
We discuss recently measured event-by-event fluctuations of transverse momentum and of multiplicity in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. It is shown that the non-monotonic behavior of the p_T-fluctuations as a function of collision centrality can be fully explained by the observed non-monotonic multiplicity fluctuations. A possible mechanism responsible for the multiplicity fluctuations is also considered.
