Here, this contribution reports on the results obtained in the two recently published papers demonstrating that data of the STAR Collaboration show a substantial asymmetric component in the rapidity distribution of the system created in central Au-Au collisions, implying that boost invariance is violated on the event-by-event basis even at the mid c.m. rapidity.
