Statistical and dynamical fluctuations in the ratios of higher cumulants in relativistic heavy ion collisions

With the help of transport and statistical models, we find that the ratios of higher net-proton cumulants measured at RHIC are dominated by the statistical fluctuations. Future measurements should focus on the dynamical fluctuations, which are relevant to the underlying mechanisms of particle production, the critical phenomena in particular. We also demonstrate that a proton-antiproton correlation directly show if protons and antiprotons are emitted independently.

Charge Fluctuations in $π^{+}\rp$ and $\rK^{+}\rp$ Collisions at 250 GeV/$c$

We report on measurements of event-by-event charge fluctuations in $π^{+}\rp$ and $\rK^{+}\rp$ collisions at 250 GeV/$c$. The dependence of these fluctuations on the size of the rapidity windows are presented for the first time in the full phase space domain. The corrections for the influence of global charge conservation and leading-particle stopping are tested by the data. The discrepancy due to incomplete correction given by STAR and PHENIX are estimated. The dependence of the fluctuations on the position of the rapidity bin and on the multiplicity at different rapidity windows are also presented.

Model Investigation of Non-Thermal Phase Transition in High Energy Collisions

The Non-thermal phase transition in high energy collisions is studied in some detail in the framework of random cascade model. The relation between the characteristic parameter $λ_q$ of phase transition and the rank $q$ of moment is obtained using Monte Carlo simulation, and the existence of two phases in self-similarly cascading multiparticle systems is shown. The relation between the critical point $q_c$ of phase transition on the fluctuation parameter $α$ is obtained and compared with the experimental results from NA22. The same study is carried out also by analytical calculation under central limit approximation. The range of validity of the central limit approximation is discussed.
