Transverse Momentum Fluctuations in Nuclear Collisions at 158 AGeV
read the original abstract
Results are presented on event-by-event fluctuations in transverse momentum of charged particles, produced at forward rapidities in p+p, C+C, Si+Si and Pb+Pb collisions at 158 AGeV. Three different characteristics are discussed: the average transverse momentum of the event, the Phi_pT fluctuation measure and two-particle transverse momentum correlations. In the kinematic region explored, the dynamical fluctuations are found to be small. However, a significant system size dependence of Phi_pT is observed, with the largest value measured in peripheral Pb+Pb interactions. The data are compared with predictions of several models.

Non-monotonicity of $p_T$ correlations from meson-baryon mixing
A simplified model reproduces the observed non-monotonic pT correlation minimum via meson-baryon mixing, showing it is not a reliable signal for the QCD critical point.

Cumulants of mean transverse momentum and elliptic flow in the hydrodynamic model of heavy-ion collisions
Hydrodynamic simulations of heavy-ion collisions demonstrate that cumulants linking mean pT and elliptic flow quantitatively match relations derived from initial-state entropy predictors and moments of harmonic flow.
