Multiplicity fluctuation and correlation of mesons and baryons in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at LHC

Abstract

We study the multiplicity fluctuation and correlation of identified mesons and baryons formed at the hadronization by the quark combination mechanism in the context of ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Based on the statistical method of free quark combination, we derive the two-hadron multiplicity correlations such as meson-meson and meson-baryon correlations, and take the effects of quark number fluctuation at hadronization into account by a Taylor expansion method. After including the decay contributions, we calculate the dynamical fluctuation observable ${\nu }_{dyn}$ for $\text{K}\pi$, $p\pi$ and $\text{K}p$ pairs and discuss what underlying physics can be obtained by comparing with the data in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ TeV and the simulations from HIJING and AMPT event generators.
