Probing the QCD phase structure with higher order baryon numbersusceptibilities within the NJL model

Conserved charge fluctuations can be used to probe the phase structure of strongly interacting nuclear matter in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. To obtain the characteristic signatures of the conserved charge fluctuations for the quantum chromodynamics(QCD) phase transition, we study the susceptibilities of dense quark matter up to eighth order in detail, using an effective QCD-based model. We studied two cases, one with the QCD critical end point(CEP) and one without owing to an additional vector interaction term. The higher order susceptibilities display rich structures near the CEP and show sign changes as well as large fluctuations. These can provide us information about the presence and location of the CEP. Furthermore, we find that the case without the CEP also shows a similar sign change pattern, but with a relatively smaller magnitude compared with the case with the CEP. Finally, we conclude that higher order susceptibilities of conserved charge can be used to probe the QCD phase structures in heavyion collisions.     

兰州CSR能区238U238U碰撞椭圆流模拟研究

用相对论输运模型模拟了束流动能为520MeV/u的²³⁸U＋²³⁸U碰撞实验. 研究了在两种极端对撞方位的UU碰撞中, 末态核子和π介子椭圆流v₂与碰撞参数、快度以及横动量的依赖关系. 研究表明, 由于挤压(squeeze-out)效应, 末态核子和π具有负的椭圆流; 体-体UU中心碰撞事件具有最大初始坐标空间形变, 因而具有最大的负的椭圆流, 约12%; 在最小无偏事件样本下, 体-体和头-头碰撞, 中央快度平台上的核子椭圆流大小相当, 而前者π椭圆流略大于后者; 在中央快度平台, 低横动量核子和π主要由反应后期Δ衰变得到, 而高横动量主要是参与核子再散射生成, 因而在低横动量区它们具有相似的流, 而在较高横动量区(>0.3GeV/c)由于旁观核子的再散射和吸收效应, 它们的椭圆流有明显压低.

Second to tenth order susceptibilities of conserved charges within a modified Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model

We discuss the sign and energy dependence of second to tenth order susceptibilities of the baryon number,charge number, and strangeness for the analysis of critical conditions in heavy ion collisions in the LHC and RHIC by applying a modified Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. This model is fitted to the quark condensate of the lattice QCD result at finite temperature and zero baryon chemical potential. The presence of a critical point made these susceptibilities deviate considerably from a Hadron-Resonance-Gas model that shows no criticality. The sign, magnitude, and energy dependence of these higher order fluctuations hint towards the existence and location of a critical point that could be discovered in future heavy ion collision experiments.     

Effects of mean-field and softening of equation of state on elliptic flow in Au+Au collisions at (~SNN)~(1/2)=5 GeV from the JAM model

We perform a systematic study of elliptic flow(v_2) in Au+Au collisions at(~SNN)~(1/2) = 5 GeV by using a microscopic transport model, JAM. The centrality, pseudorapidity, transverse momentum and beam energy dependence of v_2 for charged as well as identified hadrons are studied. We investigate the effects of both the hadronic mean-field and the softening of equation of state(EoS) on elliptic flow. The softening of the EoS is realized by imposing attractive orbits in two body scattering, which can reduce the pressure of the system. We found that the softening of the EoS leads to the enhancement of v_2, while the hadronic mean-field suppresses v_2 relative to the cascade mode. It indicates that elliptic flow at high baryon density regions is highly sensitive to the EoS and the enhancement of v_2 may probe the signature of a first-order phase transition in heavy-ion collisions at beam energies of a strong baryon stopping region.     

Event selection in CSR-ETF U+U collision

Uranium on uranium target (U+U) collision experiment has been proposed to be performed on Cooling Storage Ring (CSR), External Target Facility (ETF), which is to be built at Lanzhou, China, delivering the uranium beam up to 520 MeV/nucleon. It is predicted that the tip-tip U+U collision patterns can produce significant high baryon density and long duration nuclear matter to study the nuclear Equation of State (EoS). As the random orientation in U+U collisions, it is necessary to select the interested tip-tip events from the large trivia background. A Relativistic Transport (ART1.0) Model is applied to compute the random mini-biased U+U collisions to select our most favorable tip-tip events. It is found that applying various combination cut on the forward neutron multiplicity and forward charged particle multiplicity of the random U+U mini-biased sample, we can select the tip-tip configuration with certain purity and efficiency.
