Net-charge fluctuations and balance functions at the LHC

Abstract

The measurement of event-by-event fluctuations and charge-dependent particle correlations are used to study properties of nuclear matter at high temperatures as produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. We present results for event-by-event net-charge fluctuations and charge balance functions in Δη and Δϕ in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN)= 2.76 TeV.
