Description

Soft particle production in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is surprisingly well described by the "flow paradigm" which states that particles are emitted independently, according to a one-particle probability distribution that fluctuates event to event. I review some consequences of this flow paradigm and show how it can be used to relate correlations of different orders.

Summary

Soft particle production in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is
surprisingly well described by the "flow paradigm" which states that
particles are emitted independently, according to a one-particle
probability distribution that fluctuates event to event.
I review some consequences of this flow paradigm and show how it can
be used to relate correlations of different orders.
