Baryon clustering at the critical line and near the hypothetical critical point in heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Shuryak, Edward ; Torres-Rincon, Juan M. - Physical Review. C

We study clustering of baryons at the freeze-out point of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Using a Walecka-Serot model for the nucleon-nucleon (N N) interaction we analyze how the modified critical σ mode—responsible for the N N attraction—allows for clustering of nucleons when the system is close to a possible critical point of QCD. We investigate clusters of few nucleons, and also the internal cluster configuration when the system is long lived. For realistic heavy-ion collisions we study to what extent light clusters, such as ⁴He, can be formed in several fm / c, and perform the statistical analysis of proton cumulantsmore »« less

Energy scan in heavy-ion collisions and search for a critical point

Journal Article Tokarev, M. V., E-mail: tokarev@jinr.ru ; Zborovsky, I - Physics of Atomic Nuclei

Experimental data on inclusive spectra measured in heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and SPS over a wide range of the energy {radical}s{sub NN} = 9 - 200 GeV are analyzed in the framework of z scaling. A microscopic scenario of constituent interactions in the framework of this approach is discussed. Dependence of the energy loss on the momentum of the produced hadron, energy, and centrality of the collision, is studied. Self-similarity of the constituent interactions in terms of momentum fractions is used to characterize the nuclear medium by 'specific heat' and colliding nuclei by fractal dimensions.

Event-by-event fluctuations in heavy ion collisions and the QCD critical point

Journal Article Stephanov, M ; Rajagopal, K ; Shuryak, E - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The event-by-event fluctuations of suitably chosen observables in heavy ion collisions at CERN SPS, BNL RHIC, and CERN LHC can tell us about the thermodynamic properties of the hadronic system at freeze-out. By studying these fluctuations as a function of varying control parameters, it is possible to learn much about the phase diagram of QCD. As a timely example, we stress the methods by which present experiments at the CERN SPS can locate the second-order critical end point of the first-order transition between quark-gluon plasma and hadron matter. Those event-by-event signatures which are characteristic of freeze-out in the vicinity ofmore »« less

Issues with the search for critical point in QCD with relativistic heavy ion collisions

Journal Article Asakawa, Masayuki ; Kitazawa, Masakiyo ; Müller, Berndt - Physical Review. C

A systematic search for a critical point in the phase diagram of QCD matter is under way at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and is planned at several future facilities. Its existence, if confirmed, and its location will greatly enhance our understanding of QCD. In this article, we emphasize several important issues that are often not fully recognized in theoretical interpretations of experimental results relevant to the critical point search. Further, we discuss ways in which our understanding on these issues can be improved.

Fluctuating temperature and baryon chemical potential in heavy-ion collisions and the position of the critical end point in the effective QCD phase diagram

Journal Article Ayala, Alejandro ; Hernández-Ortiz, Saul ; Hernández, L. A. ; ... - Physical Review D

We use the linear sigma model with quarks to locate the critical end point in the effective QCD phase diagram accounting for fluctuations in the temperature and quark chemical potential. For this purpose, we use the nonequilibrium formalism provided by the superstatistics framework. We compute the effective potential in the high- and low-temperature approximations up to sixth order and include the contribution of ring diagrams to account for plasma screening effects. We fix the model parameters from relations between the thermal sigma and pion masses imposing a first-order phase transition at zero temperature and a finite critical value for themore »« less
