Probing Quark Gluon Liquid Using Transverse Momentum Fluctuations

The onset of equilibration of partons in nuclear collisions may lead to related trends in the centrality dependence of 〈pt〉, pt fluctuations, and net charge fluctuations [S. Gavin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 162301 (2004); J. Phys. G 30, S1385 (2004)]. We extend the transport description of ref. [S. Gavin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 162301 (2004); J. Phys. G 30, S1385 (2004)] to include radial flow.
