Fu Jinghua Institute of Particle Physics, Huazhong Normal University Statistical Model Analysis of K/ and p/ fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions Fu Jinghua Institute of Particle Physics, Huazhong Normal University
Motivation a phase transition event-by-event fluctuations statistical (thermal) model ratios of hadron yields hadronic statistical model particle yield fluctuations.
Energy dependence
Centrality dependence STAR
Particle ratio fluctuations ratios of particles volume fluctuations cancel
Particle ratio fluctuations
Statistical model Upper sign for frmions, lower sign for bosons
Model parameters Thermal model codes THERMUS
Volume From Ref. Nucl.Phys.A 772 (2006) 167, in unit of fm3
Correction NA49 3D acceptance table HIJING simulations The percentage of particles inside the NA49 acceptance table
Correction STAR
Energy dependence Data : Full symbols: Model : Open symbols:
Centrality dependence The volume parameter is decided by asking the average number of K- in the model the same as the STAR measured K- integrated rapidity density

Conclusion Detector acceptance increase of fluctuations at the lower NA49 energies Kinematic cuts & tracking efficiency good description of most central STAR K/ dN/d scaled K/ fluctuations independent of centrality Opposite sign: resonance decay contributions reduced Same sign: other sources of correlations
