Search for deconfinement in the cluster at ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions

TL;DR

This paper investigates signs of deconfinement in heavy ion collisions, suggesting that percolation cluster formation might explain observed critical phenomena and saturation effects in particle behavior.

Contribution

It proposes that deconfinement may occur through percolation cluster formation, providing a new perspective on interpreting critical phenomena in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions.

Findings

Evidence of critical phenomena and saturation in particle characteristics.

Percolation cluster formation as a potential mechanism for deconfinement.

Explanation of observed effects beyond simple models.

Abstract

Some of the centrality experiments indicate regime change and saturation in the behavior of characteristics of the secondary particles. It is observed as a critical phenomenon for hadron-nuclear, nuclear-nuclear interactions and ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. The existing simple models do not explain the effect. We believe that the responsible mechanism to explain the phenomena could be the percolation cluster formation and expect appearance of deconfinement in the cluster.
