Probing nuclear symmetry energy at high densities using pion, kaon, eta and photon productions in heavy-ion collisions

Zhi-Gang Xiao, Gao-Chan Yong, Lie-Wen Chen +4

The high-density behavior of nuclear symmetry energy is among the most uncertain properties of dense neutron-rich matter. Its accurate determination has significant ramifications i…

Statistical and dynamical parts of the cumulants of conserved charges in relativistic heavy ion collisions

Xue Pan, Fan Zhang, Zhiming Li +3

The Poisson-liked statistical fluctuations, which are caused by the finite number of produced particles, are firstly estimated for the cumulants of conserved charges, i.e., the cum…
