The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and its use for the identification of fireball fragmentation
Ivan Melo, Boris Tomasik, Giorgio Torrieri +4
We propose an application of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for rapidity distributions of individual events in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. The test is particularly suitabl…
Fragmentation of the fireball and how to observe it
Boris Tomasik, Ivan Melo, Giorgio Torrieri +4
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…
Study of event-by-event fluctuations in heavy ion collisions
B. Tomasik, I. Melo, M. Gintner +1
We propose Kolmogorov-Smirnov test as a means for recognising event-by-event fluctuations of rapidity distributions in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Such fluctuations may be i…
Non-equilibrium Phase Transitions in Ultrarelativistic Nuclear Collisions
B. Tomasik, G. Torrieri, I. Melo +4
Highly excited nuclear matter created in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions possibly reaches the phase of quark deconfinement. It quickly cools down and hadronises. We explain…
