We investigate the effects of repulsive interaction between hadrons on the fluctuations of the conserved charges. We calculate the baryon,the electric charge and the strangeness susceptibilities within the ambit of hadron resonance gas model extended to include the short range repulsive interactions.The repulsive interactions are included through a mean-field approach where the single particle energy gets modified due to mean field interactions between hadrons proportional to the number density of hadrons.We assume different mean-field interactions for mesons and baryons. It is shown that the repulsive interactions play a very crucial role to describe hadronic matter near transition temperature. We also show that in order to consistently describe higher order conserved charge fluctuations mesonic repulsive interactions cannot be neglected. Further, we demonstrate that the repulsive interaction of baryons are essential to describe the lattice simulation results at finite baryonchemical potential for higher order fluctuations.
We simultaneously incorporate two common extensions of the hadron resonance gas model, namely the addition of extra, unconfirmed resonances to the particle list and the excluded volume repulsive interactions. We emphasize the complementary nature of these two extensions and identify combinations of conserved charge susceptibilities that allow to constrain them separately. In particular, ratios of second-order susceptibilities like $chi_{11}^{BQ}/chi_2^B$ and $chi_{11}^{BS}/chi_2^B$ are sensitive only to the baryon spectrum, while fourth-to-second order ratios like $chi_4^B/chi_2^B$, $chi_{31}^{BS}/chi_{11}^{BS}$, or $chi_{31}^{BQ}/chi_{11}^{BQ}$ are mainly determined by repulsive interactions. Analysis of the available lattice results suggests the presence of both the extra states in the baryon-strangeness sector and the repulsive baryonic interaction, with indications that hyperons have a smaller repulsive core than non-strange baryons. The modified hadron resonance gas model presented here significantly improves the description of lattice QCD susceptibilities at chemical freeze-out and can be used for the analysis of event-by-event fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions.
In this paper we discuss the interacting hadron resonance gas model in presence of a constant external magnetic field. The short range repulsive interaction between hadrons are accounted through van der Waals excluded volume correction to the ideal gas pressure. Here we take the sizes of hadrons as $r_pi$ (pion radius) $= 0$ fm, $r_K$ (kaon radius) $= 0.35$ fm, $r_m$ (all other meson radii) $= 0.3$ fm and $r_b$ (baryon radii) $= 0.5$ fm. We analyse the effect of uniform background magnetic field on the thermodynamic properties of interacting hadron gas. We especially discuss the effect of interactions on the behaviour of magnetization of low temperature hadronic matter. The vacuum terms have been regularized using magnetic field independent regularization scheme. We find that the magnetization of hadronic matter is positive which implies that the low temperature hadronic matter is paramagnetic. We further find that the repulsive interactions have very negligible effect on the overall magnetization of the hadronic matter and the paramagnetic property of the hadronic phase remains unchanged. We have also investigated the effects of short range repulsive interactions as well as the magnetic field on the baryon and electric charge number susceptibilities of hadronic matter within the ambit of excluded volume hadron resonance gas model.
Using the sample produced by the AMPT default model, we construct a corresponding mixed sample by the method of mixed events. The mixed sample provides an effective estimation for non-critical fluctuations which are caused by global and systematic effects. The dynamical cumulants of conserved charges are defined as the cumulants of the original sample minus the cumulants of the mixed sample. It is demonstrated that dynamical cumulants are subtracted statistical fluctuations, and centrality bin width or detection efficiency independent, in consistent with formulae corrected cumulants. Therefore, dynamical cumulants are helpful in obtaining critical fluctuations at the RHIC BES.
The NA61/SHINE collaboration has recently published high precision data on production of $pi^pm$ and $K^pm$ mesons, protons, antiprotons and $Lambda$ hyperons in ${rm pp}$ interactions at 20, 31, 40, 80 and 158 GeV/c, and in ${rm pC}$ interactions at 31 GeV/c. The collaboration also presented experimental data on production of particles - $pi^pm$, $K^pm$, $p^pm$, $rho^0$, $omega$ and $K^{*0}$ in $pi^-{rm C}$ collisions at 158 and 350 GeV/c. The collaboration has compared these data with various Monte Carlo model calculations: UrQMD, EPOS, GiBUU, and others. All of the models have various problems. The latest version of the FTF (Fritiof) model of Geant4 solves most of these problems. In the FTF model, we have improved the fragmentation of quark-gluon strings with small masses and introduced dependencies of probabilities of strange mesons and baryon-antibaryon pairs creation on string masses. Due to these changes, we describe the data of the NA61/SHINE collaboration on particle production in ${rm pp, pC}$, and $pi^-{rm C}$ interactions. The improved Geant4 FTF model also well reproduces experimental data on inclusive cross sections of $Lambda, bar{Lambda}$ and $K^{0}$ production in antiproton-proton interactions at various energies. The modified FTF model allows one to simulate realistic processes with two particle productions - $bar{p}p rightarrow Lambda bar{Lambda}$, $bar{p}p rightarrow K^{+} K^{-}$, $bar{p}p rightarrow Lambda bar{Sigma}$, and $bar{p}p rightarrowSigma bar{Sigma}$, which will be studied in the future by the PANDA experiment at FAIR (GSI, Germany).
We calculate several diagonal and non-diagonal fluctuations of conserved charges in a system of 2+1+1 quark flavors with physical masses, on a lattice with size $48^3times12$. Higher order fluctuations at $mu_B=0$ are obtained as derivatives of the lower order ones, simulated at imaginary chemical potential. From these correlations and fluctuations we construct ratios of net-baryon number cumulants as functions of temperature and chemical potential, which satisfy the experimental conditions of strangeness neutrality and proton/baryon ratio. Our results qualitatively explain the behavior of the measured cumulant ratios by the STAR collaboration.
