A Monte Carlo study of identified particle ratio fluctuations at LHC energies is carried out in the frame work of hij model using the fluctuation variable $ u_{dyn}$. The simulated events for Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt{s}_{NN}$ = 2.76 and 5.02 TeV and Xe-Xe collisions at $sqrt{s}_{NN}$ = 5.44 TeV are analyzed. From this study, it is observed that the values of $[pi,K]$, $[p,K]$ and $[pi,p]$ follow the similar trends of energy dependence as observed in the most central collision data by NA49, STAR and ALICE experiments. It is also observed that $ u_{dyn}$ for all the three combinations of particles for semi-central and central collisions, the model predicted values of $ u_{dyn}[A,B]$ for Pb-Pb collisions at $sqrt{s}_{NN}$ = 2.76 TeV agree fairly well with those observed in ALICE experiment. For peripheral collisions, however, the model predicted values of $ u_{dyn}[pi,K]$ are somewhat smaller, whereas for $[p,K]$ and $[pi,p]$ it predicts larger values as compared to the corresponding experimental values. The possible reasons for the observed differences are discussed. The $ u_{dyn}$ values scaled with charged particle density when plotted against $langle$N$_{part}$$rangle$, exhibit a flat behaviour, as expected from the independent particle emission sources. For $[p,K]$ and $[pi,p]$ combinations, a departure from the flat trend is, however, observed in central collisions in the case of low p$_{T}$ window when effect of jet quenching or resonances are considered. Furthermore, the study of $ u_{dyn}[A,B]$ dependence on particle density for various collision systems (including proton-proton collisions) suggests that at LHC energies $ u_{dyn}$ values for a given particle pair is simply a function of charged particle density, irrespective of system size, beam energy and collision centrality.

The heavy quarks (HQs) are unique probe of the hot QCD matter properties and their dynamics is coupled to the locally thermalized expanding quark gluon plasma. We present here a novel study of the event by event correlations between light and heavy flavour flow harmonics at LHC energy within a transport approach. Interaction between heavy quarks and light quarks have been taken into account exploring the impact of different temperature dependence of the transport coefficients $D_s$ and $Gamma$. Our study indicates that $v^{heavy}_n-v^{light}_n$ correlation and the relative fluctuations of anisotropic flows, $sigma_{v_{n}}/langle v_n rangle$, are novel observables to understand the heavy quark-bulk interaction and are sensitive to the temperature dependence even to moderate differences of $D_s(T)$, or $Gamma(T)$. Hence a comparison of such new observables for HQ to upcoming experimental data at both RHIC and LHC can put further constraints on heavy quark transport coefficients and in particular on its temperature dependence toward a solid comparison between the phenomenological determination and the lattice QCD calculations.
Results on event-by-event fluctuations of the mean transverse momentum and net charge in Pb-Au collisions, measured by the CERES Collaboration at CERN-SPS, are presented. We discuss the centrality and beam energy dependence and compare our data to cascade calculations.
This paper presents the first measurement of event-by-event fluctuations of the elliptic flow parameter v_2 in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200GeV as a function of collision centrality. The relative non-statistical fluctuations of the v_2 parameter are found to be approximately 40%. The results, including contributions from event-by-event elliptic flow fluctuations and from azimuthal correlations that are unrelated to the reaction plane (non-flow correlations), establish an upper limit on the magnitude of underlying elliptic flow fluctuations. This limit is consistent with predictions based on spatial fluctuations of the participating nucleons in the initial nuclear overlap region. These results provide important constraints on models of the initial state and hydrodynamic evolution of relativistic heavy ion collisions.
We consider SUSY-like missing energy events at hadron colliders and critically examine the common assumption that the missing energy is the result of two identical missing particles. In order to experimentally test this hypothesis, we generalize the subsystem MT2 variable to the case of asymmetric event topologies, where the two SUSY decay chains terminate in different children particles. In this more general approach, the endpoint MT2max of the MT2 distribution now gives the mass Mp(Mc(a),Mc(b)) of the parent particle as a function of two input children masses Mc(a) and Mc(b). We propose two methods for an independent determination of the individual children masses Mc(a) and Mc(b). First, in the presence of upstream transverse momentum P(UTM) the corresponding function Mp(Mc(a),Mc(b),P(UTM)) is independent of P(UTM) at precisely the right values of the children masses. Second, the previously discussed MT2 kink is now generalized to a ridge on the 2-dimensional surface Mp(Mc(a),Mc(b)). As we show in several examples, quite often there is a special point along that ridge which marks the true values of the children masses. Our results allow collider experiments to probe a multi-component dark matter sector directly and without any theoretical prejudice.
Proton-Proton ($pp$) collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are simulated in order to study events with a high local density of charged particles produced in narrow pseudorapidty windows of $Deltaeta$ = 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5. The $pp$ collisions are generated at center of mass energies of $sqrt{s} = 2.36$, $7$, $8$, and $13$ TeV, i.e. the energies at which the LHC has operated so far, using PYTHIA and HERWIG event generators. We have also studied the average of the maximum charged-particle density versus the event multiplicity for all events, using the different pseudorapidity windows. This study prepares for the multi-particle production background expected in a future search for anomalous high-density multiplicity fluctuations using the LHC data.
