Initial State Fluctuations

Initial State Fluctuations is a theoretical construct in heavy-ion physics that characterizes the event-by-event spatial inhomogeneities in the energy and matter distribution at the beginning of a relativistic heavy-ion collision, arising from quantum fluctuations in the nucleon positions and partonic degrees of freedom within the colliding nuclei.
