A General Signal of a Phase Transition from Single-Particle Momentum Distributions

H. Q. Wang (Dept. of Cosmic and Subatomic Physics, Lund University)🇸🇪

Abstract

A two-particle space correlation function is derived from the single-particle momentum distribution of the emission source. A signal of a first order phase transition is obtained from this correlation function if density fluctuations are large.
