Fluctuations of Conserved Quantities in High Energy Nuclear Collisions at RHIC
Fluctuations of Conserved Quantities in High Energy Nuclear Collisions at RHIC
Fluctuations of conserved quantities in heavy-ion collisions are used to probe the phase transition and the QCD critical point for the strongly interacting hot and dense nuclear matter. The STAR experiment has carried out moment analysis of net-proton (proxy for net-baryon (B)), net-kaon (proxy for net-strangeness (S)), and net-charge (Q). …
