The sixth order cumulant of net-proton number in Binomial distribution at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 200 GeV

Abstract

It is proposed that ratios of the sixth order to the second order cumulant ($C_6/C_2$) of conserved quantities are sensitive to the chiral crossover transition. Recently, the negative $C_6/C_2$ was obtained both in theoretical Lattice QCD and experiments at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 200 GeV. In this study, we investigate the behavior of net-proton $C_6/C_2$ in statistical Binomial distribution (BD) at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=$ 200 GeV in Au + Au collisions. With the BD parameters extracted from RHIC/STAR, it is found that $C_6/C_2$ can be negative. Furthermore, the obtained $C_6/C_2$ becomes smaller when applying the same magnitude of experimental statistics and calculation method to simulations. In 0-10\% centrality, there is a significant difference between the simulated result and theoretical expectation. Based on the extracted parameters and experimentally collected statistics, the baseline of net-proton $C_6/C_2$ in BD is presented.
