Description
Hydrodynamic fluctuations are inherent in any small space-time varying system. They may be significantly impacted by the presence of a critical point in the QCD equation of state during the expansion phase of a heavy ion collision. Simple models are studied to gain insight into the essential physics. This study suggests which observables are most sensitive to a critical point, although much more sophisticated numerical simulations need to be done to compare directly with experimental data.
