Critical Point - 2
- Jan Martin Pawlowski (Heidelberg University, Germany)
We present the analytic description of particle number (conserved charge) fluctuations within the subvolume of the thermal system in the coexistence region of the first order phase transition. Different approximations are applied for the metastable states, for the region of spinodal decomposition [1] and in the special case of a homogeneous system [2]. The results are checked within...
Recently, a non-equilibrium effective field theory framework has been formulated for fluctuating hydrodynamics [1]. In this talk, we present an example of applying this novel formalism to study the critical properties of QCD. In the view that non-Gaussian fluctuations of baryon density are important for the QCD critical point search, we derive evolution equations for the critical non-Gaussian...
