Time-evolution of net-baryon density fluctuations across the QCD critical region

Abstract

We investigate the role of a finite surface tension during the time-evolution of fluctuations in the net-baryon density. The systems in this study undergo a temperature evolution across the phase transition in the critical region of the QCD phase diagram. The occuring non-equilibrium effects are discussed.
