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
