Lead Nuclei Carried a Quantum-Fluctuation Fingerprint
ALICE Run 3 flow ratios in ultra-central collisions test whether nuclear energy fluctuations resolve a hydrodynamic puzzle.
Summary
ALICE Run 3 flow ratios in ultra-central collisions test whether nuclear energy fluctuations resolve a hydrodynamic puzzle.
When collision geometry becomes nearly round, fluctuations dominate the initial state. The contribution compares new 5.36-TeV lead-lead measurements with models that include quantum energy-distribution fluctuations and possible octupole deformation.
Why it matters
ALICE Run 3 flow ratios in ultra-central collisions test whether nuclear energy fluctuations resolve a hydrodynamic puzzle.
Limits and context
No additional limitation was separately recorded.
