Proton High-Order Cumulants in Au+Au Collisions at High Baryon Density from JAM with a Centrality-Independent Framework
Yongcong Xu, Zhaohui Wang, Yu Zhang +1
The event-by-event higher-order cumulants of conserved quantities such as net-baryon, net-electric charge, and net-strangeness in heavy-ion collisions have been extensively utilize…

A Centrality-independent Framework for Revealing Genuine Higher-Order Cumulants in Heavy-Ion Collisions
Zhaohui Wang, Xiaofeng Luo
We propose a novel centrality definition-independent method for analyzing higher-order cumulants, specifically addressing the challenge of volume fluctuations that dominate in low-…
