Abstract:
We propose to use the theory of phase transitions of Lee and Yang as
a practical tool to analyze long-range correlations in a finite-size
system. We apply it to the analysis of anisotropic flow in
nucleus-nucleus collisions, and show that this method is more reliable
than any other used so far.
