Within a dynamical quark recombination model we explore various proposed event-by-event observables sensitive to the microscopic structure of the QCD-matter created at RHIC energies. Charge fluctuations, charge transfer fluctuations and baryon-strangeness correlations are computed from a sample of central Au+Au events at the highest RHIC energy available ($sqrt{s_{NN}}$=200 GeV). We find that for all explored observables, the calculations yield the values predicted for a quark-gluon plasma only at early times of the evolution, whereas the final state approaches the values expected for a hadronic gas. We argue that the recombination-like hadronization process itself is responsible for the disappearance of the predicted deconfinement signatures. This might explain why no fluctuation signatures for the transition between quark and hadronic matter was ever observed in the experimental data up to now. However, it might also be interpreted as a clear indication for a recombination like hadronization process at RHIC.

The increased interest in more exclusive fission observables has demanded more detailed models. We present here a new computational model, FREYA, that aims to meet this need by producing large samples of complete fission events from which any observable of interest can then be extracted consistently, including arbitrary correlations. The various model assumptions are described and the potential utility of the model is illustrated by means of several novel correlation observables.
Event-by-event analysis of heavy-ion collision events is an important tool for the study of the QCD phase boundary and formation of a quark-gluon plasma. A universal feature of phase boundaries is the appearance of increased fluctuations of conserved measures as manifested by excess measure variance compared to a reference. In this paper I consider a particular aspect of EbyE analysis emphasizing global-variables variance comparisons and the central limit theorem. I find that the central limit theorem is, in a broader interpretation, a statement about the scale invariance of total variance for a measure distribution, which in turn relates to the scale-dependent symmetry properties of the distribution.. I further generalize this concept to the relationship between the scale dependence of a covariance matrix for all conserved measures defined on a dynamical system and a matrix of covariance integrals defined on two-point measure spaces, which points the way to a detailed description of the symmetry dynamics of a complex measure system. Finally, I relate this generalized description to several recently proposed or completed event-by-event analyses.
Fluctuations of thermodynamic quantities are fundamental for the study of the QGP phase transition. The ALICE experiment is well suited for precise event-by-event measurements of various quantities. In this article, we review the capabilities of ALICE to study the fluctuations of several key observables such as the net charge, the temperature, and the particle ratios. Among the observables related to correlations, we review the balance functions and the long range correlations.
A Monte Carlo study of identified particle ratio fluctuations at LHC energies is carried out in the frame work of hij model using the fluctuation variable $ u_{dyn}$. The simulated events for Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt{s}_{NN}$ = 2.76 and 5.02 TeV and Xe-Xe collisions at $sqrt{s}_{NN}$ = 5.44 TeV are analyzed. From this study, it is observed that the values of $[pi,K]$, $[p,K]$ and $[pi,p]$ follow the similar trends of energy dependence as observed in the most central collision data by NA49, STAR and ALICE experiments. It is also observed that $ u_{dyn}$ for all the three combinations of particles for semi-central and central collisions, the model predicted values of $ u_{dyn}[A,B]$ for Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt{s}_{NN}$ = 2.76 TeV agree fairly well with those observed in ALICE experiment. For peripheral collisions, however, the model predicted values of $ u_{dyn}[pi,K]$ are somewhat smaller, whereas for $[p,K]$ and $[pi,p]$ it predicts larger values as compared to the corresponding experimental values. The possible reasons for the observed differences are discussed. The $ u_{dyn}$ values scaled with charged particle density when plotted against $langle$N$_{part}$$rangle$, exhibit a flat behaviour, as expected from the independent particle emission sources. For $[p,K]$ and $[pi,p]$ combinations, a departure from the flat trend is, however, observed in central collisions in the case of low p$_{T}$ window when effect of jet quenching or resonances are considered. Furthermore, the study of $ u_{dyn}[A,B]$ dependence on particle density for various collision systems (including proton-proton collisions) suggests that at LHC energies $ u_{dyn}$ values for a given particle pair is simply a function of charged particle density, irrespective of system size, beam energy and collision centrality.
A study of the charged-particle density (number density) in the transverse region of the di-hadron correlations exploiting the existing pp and p$bar{rm p}$ data from RHIC to LHC energies is reported. This region has contributions from the Underlying Event (UE) as well as from Initial- and Final-State Radiation (ISR-FSR). Based on the data, a two-component model is built. This has the functional form $propto s^{0.27}+0.14log(s)$, where the logarithmic (power-law) term describes the component more sensitive to the ISR-FSR (UE) contribution. The model describes the data from RHIC to LHC energies, the extrapolation to higher energies indicates that at around $sqrt{s} approx 100$ TeV the number density associated to UE will match that from ISR-FSR. Although this behaviour is not predicted by PYTHIA~8.244, the power-law behaviour of the UE contribution is consistent with the energy dependence of the parameter that regulates Multiparton Interactions. Using simulations, KNO-like scaling properties of the multiplicity distributions in the regions sensitive to either UE or ISR-FSR are also discussed. The results presented here can be helpful to constrain QCD-inspired Monte Carlo models at the Future Circular Collider energies, as well as to characterize the UE-based event classifiers which are currently used at the LHC.
