Three Dimensional Statistical Field Theory for Density Fluctuations in Heavy-Ion Collsiions

Abstract

A statistical field theory of particle production is presented using a gaussian functional in three dimensions. Identifying the field with the particle density fluctuation results in zero correlations of order three and higher, while the second order correlation function is of a Yukawa form. A detailed scheme for projecting the theoretical three-dimensional correlation onto data of three and fewer dimensions illustrates how theoretical predictions are tested against experimental moments in the different dimensions. An example given in terms of NA35 parameters should be testable against future NA35 data.
