    "abstract": "The observation of a granular structure in high-energy heavy-ion collisions\ncan be used as a signature for the quark-gluon plasma phase transition, if the\nphase transition is first order in nature. We propose methods to detect a\ngranular structure by the single-event intensity interferometry. We find that\nthe correlation function from a chaotic source of granular droplets exhibits\nlarge fluctuations, with maxima and minima at relative momenta which depend on\nthe relative coordinates of the droplet centers. The presence of this type of\nmaxima and minima of a single-event correlation function at many relative\nmomenta is a signature for a granular structure and a first-order QCD phase\ntransition. We further observe that the Fourier transform of the correlation\nfunction of a granular structure exhibits maxima at the relative spatial\ncoordinates of the droplet centers, which can provide another signature of the\ngranular structure.",
