Baryon number diffusion with critical fluctuations

Journal Article Nahrgang, Marlene ; Bluhm, Marcus ; Schafer, Thomas ; ... - Nuclear Physics. A

The description of dynamical fluctuations near the QCD critical point in heavy-ion collisions is crucial for understanding the existing and upcoming experimental data from the beam energy scan programs. In this talk we discuss the evolution of fluctuations of the net-baryon density as given by a stochastic diffusion equation. In conclusion we study equilibrium as well as dynamical systems for which we can show the impact of nonequilibrium effects on the second-order moment.

Impact of resonance decays on critical point signals in net-proton fluctuations

Journal Article Bluhm, Marcus ; Nahrgang, Marlene ; Bass, Steffen A. ; ... - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

The non-monotonic beam energy dependence of the higher cumulants of net-proton fluctuations is a widely studied signature of the conjectured presence of a critical point in the QCD phase diagram. In this work we study the effect of resonance decays on critical fluctuations. We show that resonance effects reduce the signatures of critical fluctuations, but that for reasonable parameter choices critical effects in the net-proton cumulants survive. The relative role of resonance decays has a weak dependence on the order of the cumulants studied with a slightly stronger suppression of critical effects for higher-order cumulants.

Freeze-out conditions from net-proton and net-charge fluctuations at RHIC

Journal Article Alba, Paolo ; Alberico, Wanda ; Bellwied, Rene ; ... - Physics Letters. Section B

We calculate ratios of higher-order susceptibilities quantifying fluctuations in the number of net-protons and in the net-electric charge using the Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model. We take into account the effect of resonance decays, the kinematic acceptance cuts in rapidity, pseudo-rapidity and transverse momentum used in the experimental analysis, as well as a randomization of the isospin of nucleons in the hadronic phase. By comparing these results to the latest experimental data from the STAR Collaboration, we determine the freeze-out conditions from net-electric charge and net-proton distributions and discuss their consistency.
