BRAHMS has measured rapidity density distributions of protons and antiprotons in both p+p and Au+Au collisions at 62 GeV and 200 GeV. From these distributions the yields of so-called "net-protons", that is the difference between the proton and antiproton yields, can be determined. The rapidity dependence of the net-proton yields from peripheral Au+Au collisions is found to have a similar behaviour to that found for the p+p results, while a quite different rapidity dependence is found for central Au+Au collisions. The net-proton distributions can be used together with model calculations to find the net-baryon yields as a function of rapidity, thus yielding information on the average rapidity loss of beam particles, the baryon transport properties of the medium, and the amount of "stopping" in these collisions.

Multi-strange baryon elliptic flow in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN)= 200 GeV
本文报道了多奇异重子椭圆流$v_2(p_T)$的首次测量结果。多奇异重子的$Ξ+\bar{Xi}$和$Ω+\bar{Omega} in heavy-ion collisions. In minimum bias Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV, a significant amount of elliptic flow, comparable to other non-strange baryons, is observed for multi-strange baryons which are expected to be particularly sensitive to the dynamics of the partonic stage of heavy-ion collisions. The $ p_T $ dependence of $ v_2$证实了以前在轻强子中观察到的组分夸克标度数。这些结果支持的想法,观察到的集体运动的相当大的一部分是在RHIC的超相对论性核碰撞的早期部分子阶段开发。
Experimental evidence for narrow baryons in the mass range 1.0$\le$ M $\le$1.46 GeV
在T $_{p}$ =2 GeV附近,研究了不同入射能量下p p $\to$ p ${π^+}X$反应.在缺失质量M $_{X}$和不变质量M $_{pπ^{+}}$中观察到了窄重子结构。这些结构的质量分别为:1004、1044、1094、1136、1173、1249、1277和1384 MeV(可能还有1339 MeV)。在d p $\to$ p p X反应的缺失质谱中,也观察到其中一些分子的质量相同,但特征较弱。进行了许多检查,以确保这些结构不是由实验工件产生的。利用已发表的光核子截面也提取了几个窄的小振幅峰。所有这些结果的小宽度,以及所观察到的结构的稳定性,无论实验如何,都被用来得出结论,它们是真正的重子,而不仅仅是动力学再散射的结果。这些重子不能与经典的$q^{3}$夸克组态相关联。我们将它们与两种色团夸克组态联系起来。

We investigate possible effects of correlations between stopped nucleons on higher order proton cumulants at low energy heavy-ion collisions. We find that fluctuations of the number of wounded nucleons $N_{\mathrm{part}}$ lead to rather nontrivial dependence of the correlations on the centrality; however, this effect is too small to explain the large and positive four-proton correlations found in the preliminary data collected by the STAR collaboration at $\sqrt{s}=7.7$ GeV. We further demonstrate that, by taking into account additional proton clustering, we are able to qualitatively reproduce…
We analyze the rapidity and transverse momentum dependence for the cumulants of the net-proton and net-baryon distributions in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\text{NN}}} = 5\,\text{GeV}$ with a microscopic hadronic transport (JAM) model. To study the effects of mean field potential and softening of equation of state (EoS) on the fluctuations of net-proton (baryon) in heavy-ion collisions, the calculations are performed with two different modes. The softening of EoS is realized in the model by implementing the attractive orbit in the two-body scattering to introduce a reduction pressure of the s…
We present a dynamical description of (anti)proton number fluctuations cumulants and correlation functions in central Au-Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 7.7-200$ GeV by utilizing viscous hydrodynamics simulations. The cumulants of proton and baryon number are calculated in a given momentum acceptance analytically, via an appropriately extended Cooper-Frye procedure describing particlization of an interacting hadron resonance gas. The effects of global baryon number conservation are taken into account using a generalized subensemble acceptance method. The experimental data of the STAR col…
Fluctuations of the baryon number in relativistic heavy-ion collisions are a promising observable to explore the structure of the QCD phase diagram. The cumulant ratios in heavy ion collisions at intermediate energies ($\sqrt{s_{\textrm{NN}}} < 7$ GeV) have not been studied to date. We investigate the effects of mean field potential and clustering on the cumulant ratios of baryon and proton number distributions in Au+Au collisions at beam energy of 1.23 GeV$/$nucleon as measured by the HADES Collaboration at GSI. Ultrarelativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) and the JAM model are used t…
