“…recently, strong fluctuations have been observed by the JACEE [8], UA5 [9] and NA22 reported for cosmic-ray experiments [4,5,6] and for pN collisions at 200 GeV More large concentrations of particles in small pseudorapidity regions of single events has been by a ring of particles in the plane perpendicular to the collision axis. Early evidence for but randomly distributed in azimuthal angle.…”

The energy density of the central products in the ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions are calculated. In our estimation, the special attention is paid to the space-time extension of the emission points of the secondary hadrons which are originated in the successive nucleon-nucleon interactions within the finite size of colliding nuclei. The average collision number per produced *On leave of absence from Institute for Nuclear Study, University of Tokyo, Tanashi, Tokyo 188. iv particle, in the final state interaction. is also calculated and is used as a criterion whether the system is thermalized or not. It turns out that the attainable energy density in the central heavy ion collision is sensitive to the space-time extension of the emission points. However, if the incident energy and the mass numbers of colliding nuclei are high and large, we can get high enough energy density for the phase transition from a hadronic state to a quark-gluon plasma state.

“…The JACEE cosmic-ray data [1,2] on rapidity distribution of hadron production show large uctuations of multiplicity from bin to bin. Hydrodynamical study of high-energy nuclear collisions can at best describe only the average thermodynamical quantities, relinquishing any possibility of addressing the issue of uctuations.…”

Cluster production in quark-hadron phase transition in heavy-ion collisions

1994

The problem of cluster formation and growth in rst-order quark-hadron phase transition in heavy-ion collisions is considered. Behaving as Brownian particles, the clusters carry out random walks and can encounter one another, leading to coalescence and breakup. A simulation of the process in cellular automaton suggests the possibility of a scaling distribution in the cluster sizes. The experimental determination of the cluster-size distribution is urged as a means to nd a clear signature of phase transition.
