Fragmentation of the fireball and how to observe it

Abstract

We argue that fragmentation at hadronisation is likely scenario in ultrarelativistic nuclear collisions. In case of crossover phase transition it is driven by a singularity of the bulk viscosity. We claim that such a scenario can explain the ``HBT puzzle'' and can be identified by non-statistical differences between event-wise rapidity distributions and by proton-proton rapidity correlations.
