Critical Opalescence: An Optical Signature for a QCD Critical Point
Four possible scenarios are considered for a transition from a quark-gluon matter to hadronic matter, and their corresponding correlation signatures are discussed. Four criteria are highlighted for a definitive experimental search for a QCD critical point. An old-new experimental measure, the optical opacity (or its inverse the nuclear attenuation length) is determined, in terms of a combinatio...
متن کاملProspects of detecting the QCD critical point
We investigate the possibility to observe the QCD critical point in A + A collisions at the SPS. Guided by the QCD phase diagram expressed in experimentally accessible variables we suggest that the process C +C at 158 GeV /n freezes out very close to the critical point. We perform an analysis of the available preliminary experimental data for a variety of SPS processes. The basic tool in our ef...

متن کاملCorrelation Probes of a QCD Critical Point
Critical opalescence is a characteristic experimental signature of a second order phase transition in solid state physics. A new, experimentally accessible measure of opacity and of attenuation length in heavy ion reactions is suggested, as a combination of HBT radii and nuclear modification factors. This opacity is maximal when √ sNN , the system size and centrality correspond to the critical ...
متن کاملInformation-Entropic Signature of the Critical Point
We investigate the critical behavior of continuous (second-order) phase transitions in the context of (2+1)-dimensional Ginzburg-Landau models with a double-well effective potential. In particular, we show that the recently-proposed configurational entropy (CE)–a measure of the spatial complexity of the order parameter based on its Fourier-mode decomposition–can be used to identify the critical...
