The study of nuclear matter over a wide range of collision energy is provided by the RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES). One focus of the program, namely to locate the critical point (CP) in the QCD phase diagram, is closely tied to the measurement of kurtosis in net-proton multiplicity distribution as a function of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$.
Previous results from BES-I obtained with $3.1 \sigma$ significance...
One of methods to study the properties of hot and dense nuclear matter created in high-energy nuclear collisions is femtoscopic measurements. This method provides information about space-time characteristics of the particle emission region, which has a size and lifetime of the order of $10^{-15}$ m and $10^{-23}$ s, respectively. From non-identical particle correlations, one can obtain...
Understanding the phase diagram of QCD by measuring fluctuations of conserved charges in heavy-ion collision is one of the main goals of the beam energy scan program at RHIC. For a precise measurement of the cumulants it is necessary to grasp the role of charge conservation in heavy-ion collision measurements. Within this work, we calculate the role of hadronic interactions and momentum cuts...
Higher-order cumulants of net-proton distributions are sensitive to the details of the phase structure of the QCD phase diagram. Lattice QCD and QCD-based model calculations indicate that the signs of sixth and eighth-order cumulants have different combinations in the hadronic phase, partonic phase, and near the transition temperature.
In this poster, we report the first measurements of...
Investigation of the femtoscopic correlation functions in heavy ion collisions is an important tool to access the space-time structure of the hadron production of the sQGP. The description of the measured correlation functions is often assumed to be Gaussian or exponential, but a detailed analysis reveals that the statistically correct assumption is a generalized Gaussian, the symmetric...
In this talk, I will review the basics of 3+1d quasiparticle anisotropic hydrodynamics (aHydroQP) and highlight some phenomenological comparisons with experimental data at different energies. Then, I will present comparisons of the kaon femtoscopic HBT radii using aHydroQP at 200 GeV where our model shows very good agreement with the experimental data.
Next, I will show predictions of the...
We discuss the quantum fluctuations of energy in subsystems of hot relativistic gas for both scalar and spin half particles. For small subsystem sizes, we find a substantial increase of fluctuations compared to those known from standard thermodynamic considerations. However, if the size of the subsystem is sufficiently large, we reproduce the result for energy fluctuations in the canonical...
Femtoscopic correlations are measured over a broad multiplicity range using data from the LHC Run II collected by the CMS experiment for small colliding systems. Studies are performed for correlations of charged hadrons produced in proton-proton (pp) collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV and for correlations with all pair combinations of $\text{K}^{0}_{\text{S}}$, $\Lambda$ and...
The study of correlation and fluctuation of event-by-event mean transverse momentum ($p_\mathrm{T}$) is a useful tool to understand the dynamics of the system produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. The measurement of higher-order fluctuations of mean-$p_\mathrm{T}$ can help in probing the hydrodynamic behavior of the system and is considered to be a direct way of observing...
We investigate extensions of the Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) Model beyond the ideal case by implementing both attractive and repulsive additions to the model [1]. When considering additional states exceeding those measured with high confidence by the Particle Data Group, attractive corrections to the overall pressure in the HRG model are imposed. On the other hand, we also apply excluded-volume...
Hydrokinetic formalism is a deterministic set of relaxation type equations that tracks the evolution of n-point correlation functions of stochastic hydrodynamic quantities. Hydrokinetic formalism is a complementary approach to solving the Stochastic Differential Equations (SDE) for fluctuating hydrodynamics. Hydrokinetics is comparatively easier to solve than the SDEs, which need to deal with...
The study of collective phenomena in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions is nowadays to a great extent built on the so-called flow amplitudes $v_n$ and symmetry planes $\Psi_n$. Both appear as two distinct degrees of freedom in the parametrization of the azimuthal distribution of the produced particles, which is used in the study of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Investigating the complex...
In this contribution, we present a first factorial moment analysis performed on the multiplicity distributions of charged particles produced in the Pb$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$=2.76 TeV, recorded with the ALICE detector at the LHC. The normalized factorial moments (NFM) of spatial configurations of charged particles in two-dimensional angular ($\eta,\varphi$) phase space,...
Multiplicity distributions in e+e- and pp collisions analysed via combinants exhibit oscillatory behavior of the modified combinants. The possible sources of these oscillations and their impact on our understanding of the multiparticle production mechanism were discussed [1-3]. The set of combinants, Cj provides a similar measure of fluctuations as the set of cumulant factorial moments, Kq,...
