Description
We discuss a deep interconnection between the physics of initial state spatial anisotropies in relativistic heavy-ion collision
experiments (RHICE) and the anisotropies observed in cosmic microwave
background radiation (CMBR). This is due to the presence of
superhorizon fluctuations in both cases which, for CMBR case, have origin in the inflationary phase of the universe, while for RHICE these arise from very early thermalization. Using this we show how CMBR analysis tools can be used for RHICE to investigate the physics of the system during early transient stages of QGP phase. We discuss the possibility of observing features like CMBR acoustic peaks
in RHICE.
