Description
We describe intrinsic hydrodynamic fluctuations of the expanding
boost-invariant (Bjorken) solution. We find that these fluctuations
are correlated over a wide rapidity range due to the propagation of
the sound modes, whose dispersion is nontrivial because of the
expansion. Since the magnitudes of these correlations are proportional
to viscosities, their measurement can, in principle, be used to obtain
information about the transport coefficients as well as thermodynamic
properties of the medium.
