Initial state fluctuations and final state correlations: Status and open
questions
   [PDF]

Andrew Adare, Matthew Luzum, Hannah Petersen
The recent appreciation of the importance of event-by-event fluctuations in relativistic heavy-ion collisions has lead to a large amount of diverse theoretical and experimental activity. In particular, there is significant interest in understanding the fluctuations in the initial stage of a collision, how exactly these fluctuations are propagated through the system evolution, and how they are manifested in correlations between measured particles. In order to address these questions a workshop was organized on "Initial State Fluctuations and Final State Correlations", held at ECT* in Trento, Italy during the week of 2--6 July, 2012. The goal was to collect recent work in order to provide a coherent picture of the current status of our understanding, to identify important questions that remain open, and to set a course for future research. Here we report the outcome of the presentations and discussions, focusing on the most important conclusions.
