Event by Event fluctuations and Inclusive Distribution
Event-by-event observables are compared with conventional inclusive
measurements. We find that moments of event-by-event fluctuations are closely
related to inclusive correlation functions. Implications for upcomming heavy
ion experiments are discussed.Comment: Several typos corrected, conclusions unchange
Comment on "Charged particle ratio fluctuation as a signal for quark-gluon plasma" and "Fluctuation probes of quark deconfinement"
Charge fluctuations studied on event-by-event basis have been recently suggested to provide a signal of the equilibrium quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions at high energies. It is argued that the fluctuations generated at the early collision stage when the energy is released can fake the signal. PACS 25.75.-q, 12.38.Mh, 24.60.-
