Abstract

Correlation measurements in nuclear collisions provide new information on the interplay of dissipation and fluctuations in QGP. Viscous diffusion and thermal noise can broaden the rapidity dependence of two-particle transverse momentum correlations. In this thesis, we developed a new method for computing these correlations using the second-order Israel-Stewart hydrodynamics with stochastic noise. We further expanded this method by invoking third-order diffusion equations to enforce causality and generalization to asymmetric systems.
