Superhorizon fluctuations and acoustic oscillations in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

Saumia Pandiat Sankar, Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar, India and GPP, UdeM, Montréal
Abstract: 

We show that there are crucial similarities in the physics of cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) anisotropies and the flow anisotropies in relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments (RHICE). We also argue that, following CMBR anisotropy analysis, a plot of root-mean square values of the flow coefficients, calculated in a lab fixed frame for RHICE, can yield important information about the nature of initial state anisotropies and their evolution.
