2 MOTIVATION Bedanga Mohanty

3 IS IT EXPERIMENATLLY POSSIBLE TO STUDY QCD TRANSITIONS ?
Lattice gauge theory – critical temperature for phase transition is around 150 MeV  corresponds to energy density of 2-3 GeV/fm3 Estimated that energy density achieved in central region of nucleus-nucleus collision can be as high as 10 GeV/fm3 QGP and a chiral symmetry restored matter can be created in Laboratory Bedanga Mohanty

Properties of QCD Big Bang was long back Neutron stars are far away Nucleosynthesis Color superconductivity Thermodynamics of matter under extreme conditions Phase transition tri-critical point Dark Matter ?? Chiral symmetry restored Tri-critical point ?? Bedanga Mohanty

15 Ng vs. Nch FLUCTUATIONS Top 5% central events ONLY Bins in f : 1,2, 4, 8, 16 Discrete Wavelet Analysis Correlation Analysis: Results from data compared to mixed events and simulation Bedanga Mohanty

16 Unaltered hits Event mixing
MIXED EVENTS Mixed events help in filtering out different contributions to fluctuations Type PMD - g SPMD - ch Behavior M1 Mix hits Does not preserve correlated or individual fluctuations. M2 Unaltered hits Event mixing Unaltered hits Event mixing Does not preserve the correlated physics fluctuation. M3-g Fluctuations due to photons are preserved. M3-ch Fluctuations due to charged particles preserved. Bedanga Mohanty

17 COMPARISON OF RMS WIDTH OF DATA, M1-MIXED EVENTS AND SIMULATION
Mix hits in PMD and SPMD separately Maintain global correlation Data widths larger than M1-mixed Presence of localized fluctuations. Possibilities in: Ng Nch Correlated fluctuation Ref : PRC 64 (2001) (R) Bedanga Mohanty

18 CORRELATED FLUCTUATIONS ? DATA AND M2-MIXED EVENTS
Mix one event of PMD with Another event of SPMD Hits unaltered in an event Ng – Nch correlation maintained Data matches with M2-mixed Absence of Correlated fluctuations. Ref : PRC 64 (2001) (R) Bedanga Mohanty

19 DATA AND M3-MIXED EVENTS
DO BOTH Ng and Nch CONTRIBUTE ? DATA AND M3-MIXED EVENTS Mix hits in one detector only Hits unaltered in other detector This case is in between M1 and M2 Maintain global correlation M3-mixed between Data & M1. Presence of individual Fluctuations in both : Ng Nch Ref : PRC 64 (2001) (R) Bedanga Mohanty

20 CENTRALITY DEPENDENCE OF LOCALIZED CHARGE-NEUTRAL FLUCTUATIONS
Total localized fluctuations in photon and charged particle decreases with decrease in centrality Not detectable Ref : nucl-ex/ Phys. Rev. C (in press) Bedanga Mohanty

21 UPPER LIMIT ON DCC PRODUCTION AT SPS

25 OUTLOOK Study fluctuations using RHIC data to see if QCD transitions have occurred at RHIC Wealth of data exists at RHIC. Will study other signatures of QCD transitions Installation of PMD and data taking Lots of work to do on simulation sector for ALICE PMD This field is one of the frontier areas in High energy physics. There are lots of things still to understand hence lots of scope to contribute. Bedanga Mohanty

26 SUMMARY First study on the search of disoriented chiral condensates in ultra relativistic heavy ion collisions at SPS energies through the analysis of the photon to charge particle ratio was carried out. This will form the basis for future research in this field at higher energies (RHIC/LHC). Ref : PRC 64 (2001) (R) Exhaustive and innovative work on the analysis of correlation and fluctuations in multiplicity, transverse energy for the system formed in nucleus-nucleus collisions at relativistic energies has been performed. This is considered as an archival work by the community Ref : PRC 65 (2002) Developed different techniques to investigate the fluctuations in observables of nucleus-nucleus collisions. Discrete wavelet transformation was applied to these studies for the first time. Physical Review C 66 (2002) PLB 461 (1999) 142 Played major role in various hardware and simulation studies of photon multiplicity detector development. NIM A 488 (2002) 131 Bedanga Mohanty
