What Triggers Flow Fluctuations in Heavy-Ion Collision Debris?
Brookhaven National LaboratoryScientists in the STAR collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have published a comprehensive analysis aimed at determining which factors most influence fluctuations in the flow of particles from heavy ion collisions. The results will help scientists zero in on key properties of a unique form of matter that mimics the early universe.
