Evolution of Temperature Fluctuation in a Thermal Bath and Its Implications in Hadronic and Heavy-ion Collisions

Abstract

The evolution equation for inhomogeneous and anisotropic temperature fluctuations inside a medium is derived within the ambit of Boltzmann Transport Equation. Also, taking some existing realistic inputs we have analyzed the Fourier space variation of temperature fluctuation for the medium created after heavy-ion collisions. The effect of viscosity on the variation of fluctuations is investigated. Further, possible implications in hadronic and heavy-ion collisions are explored.PACS numbers: 25.75.Gz, 98.80.Cq
