累积量和关联函数与QCD phase diagram

Cumulants and Correlation Functions vs the QCD phase diagram

Adam Bzdak, Volker Koch, Nils Strodthoff

摘要:

本文讨论了粒子数累积量与关联函数的关系。有人认为,测量真正的多粒子关联函数的耦合,可以提供更清晰的信息,在重离子碰撞可能的非平凡的动力学。我们提取集成多质子关联函数从目前可用的质子累积量的实验数据。我们发现,STAR数据包含显着的四质子的相关性,至少在较低的能量,与中央碰撞的动态变化的迹象。我们还发现,这些相关性是相当长的范围内的速度。最后,使用伊辛模型,我们演示了如何的符号的多质子关联函数可能被用来排除某些地区的相图接近临界点。

英文摘要:

In this paper we discuss the relation of particle number cumulants and correlation functions. It is argued that measuring couplings of the genuine multi-particle correlation functions could provide cleaner information on possible non-trivial dynamics in heavy-ion collisions. We extract integrated multi-proton correlation functions from the presently available experimental data on proton cumulants. We find that the STAR data contain significant four-proton correlations, at least at the lower energies, with indication of changing dynamics in central collisions. We also find that these correlations are rather long-ranged in rapidity. Finally, using the Ising model, we demonstrate how the signs of the multi-proton correlation functions may be used to exclude certain regions of the phase diagram close to the critical point.
