Title: Freeze-out temperature from net-kaon fluctuations at energies available at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider

Abstract

We compare the mean-over-variance ratio of the net-kaon distribution calculated within a stateof-the-art hadron resonance gas model to the latest experimental data from the Beam Energy Scan at RHIC by the STAR collaboration. Our analysis indicates that it is not possible to reproduce the experimental results using the freeze-out parameters from the existing combined fit of net-proton and net-electric charge mean-over-variance. The strange mesons need about 10-15 MeV higher temperatures than the light hadrons at the highest collision energies. In view of the future Λ fluctuation measurements, we predict the Λ variance-over-mean and skewness-times-variance at the light and strange chemical freeze-out parameters. We observe that the Λ fluctuations are sensitive to the difference in the freeze-out temperatures established in this analysis. Our results have implications for other phenomenological models in the field of relativistic heavy ion collisions.

Chemical freeze-out parameters of net-kaons in heavy-ion collisions

Journal Article Alba, Paolo ; Bellwied, Rene ; Mantovani-Sarti, Valentina ; ... - Nuclear Physics. A

In this work, we study chemical freeze-out parameters for heavy-ion collisions by performing two different thermal analyses. We analyze results from thermal fits for particle yields, as well as, net-charge fluctuations in order to characterize the chemical freeze-out. The Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model is employed for both methods. By separating the light hadrons from the strange hadrons in thermal fits, we study the proposed flavor hierarchy. For the net-charge fluctuations, we calculate the mean-over-variance ratio of the net-kaon fluctuations in the HRG model at the five highest energies of the RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES) for different particle datamore »« less

Determination of Chemical Freeze-Out Parameters from Net-Kaon Fluctuations at RHIC

Journal Article Stafford, Jamie M. ; Alba, Paolo ; Bellwied, Rene ; ... - Springer Proceedings in Physics

We calculate the mean-over-variance ratio of the net-kaon fluctuations in the Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) Model for the five highest energies of the RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES) for different particle data lists. We compare these results with the latest experimental data from the STAR collaboration in order to extract sets of chemical freeze-out parameters for each list. We focused on the PDG2012 and PDG2016+ particle lists, which differ largely in the number of resonant states. Furthermore, our analysis determines the effect of the amount of resonances included in the HRG on the freeze-out conditions.

Analysis of Kaon fluctuations from the beam energy scan at RHIC

Journal Article Ratti, Claudia ; Bellwied, Rene ; Noronha-Hostler, Jacquelyn ; ... - Nuclear Physics. A

We analyze the recent STAR collaboration results on net-kaon fluctuations in the framework of the Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model. Our purpose is to extract the freeze-out temperature and chemical potential as functions of the collision energy. In our HRG model, we use the complete hadron spectrum from the latest PDG list. These results are compared to the freeze-out parameters obtained from a combined analysis of net-electric charge and net-proton fluctuations. At the highest collision energies, kaons need about 10-15 MeV higher freeze-out temperatures than the light hadrons. Predictions for moment ratios of the net-Lambda multiplicity distribution are obtained alongmore »« less

Extracting the strangeness freeze-out temperature from net-Kaon data at RHIC

Journal Article Bellwied, Rene ; Noronha-Hostler, Jacquelyn ; Parotto, Paolo ; ... - PoS - Proceedings of Science

Using the moments of the net-kaon distribution calculated within a state of-the-art hadron resonance gas model compared to experimental data from STAR's Beam Energy Scan, we find that the extracted strange freeze-out temperature is incompatible with the light one extracted from net-proton and net-charge fluctuations. Additionally predictions for net-Lambda fluctuations are made that also appear to be consistent with a higher freeze-out temperature for strange particles. This strangeness freeze-out temperature is roughly 10-15 MeV higher than the corresponding light freeze-out temperature. We also discuss cross-susceptibilities using different identified particles, which may be a further test of this two freeze-out temperaturemore »« less

Off-diagonal correlators of conserved charges from lattice QCD and how to relate them to experiment

Journal Article Bellwied, R. ; Borsányi, S. ; Fodor, Z. ; ... - Physical Review D

Like fluctuations, non-diagonal correlators of conserved charges provide a tool for the study of chemical freeze-out in heavy ion collisions. They can be calculated in thermal equilibrium using lattice simulations, and be connected to moments of event-by-event net-particle multiplicity distributions. We calculate them from continuum extrapolated lattice simulations at µB = 0, and present a finite-µB extrapolation, comparing two different methods. In order to relate the grand canonical observables to the experimentally available net-particle fluctuations and correlations, we perform a Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model analysis, which allows us to completely break down the contributions from different hadrons. We thenmore »« less
