Multiplicity fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions using canonical and grand-canonical ensemble
We report the higher order cumulants and their ratios for baryon, charge and
strangeness multiplicity in canonical and grand-canonical ensembles in ideal
thermal model including all the resonances. When the number of conserved quanta
is small, an explicit treatment of these conserved charges is required, which
leads to a canonical description of the system and the fluctuations are
significantly different from the grand canonical ensemble. Cumulant ratios of
total charge and net-charge multiplicity as a function of collision energies
are also compared in grand canonical ensemble.Comment: 7 pages, 5 Figs, Published versio
Modelling one-dimensional driven diffusive systems by the Zero-Range Process
The recently introduced correspondence between one-dimensional two-species
driven models and the Zero-Range Process is extended to study the case where
the densities of the two species need not be equal. The correspondence is
formulated through the length dependence of the current emitted from a particle
domain. A direct numerical method for evaluating this current is introduced,
and used to test the assumptions underlying this approach. In addition, a model
for isolated domain dynamics is introduced, which provides a simple way to
calculate the current also for the non-equal density case. This approach is
demonstrated and applied to a particular two-species model, where a phase
separation transition line is calculated
