The behaviour of the normalized variance of the multiplictiy distribution and the normalized transverse momentum fluctuations with centrality is naturally explained by the dependence on centrality of the number of clusters of color sources. This dependence predicts a nonmonotonic behaviour with centrality of the multiplicity associated to high p T events. The clustering of color sources is also...

The deconfinement transition in SU(2) gauge theory and the magnetization transition in the Ising model belong to the same universality class. The critical behaviour of the Ising model can be characterized either as spontaneous breaking of the Z 2 symmetry of spin states or as percolation of appropriately defined spin clusters. We show that deconfinement in SU(2) gauge theory can be specified as...
