Quark Number Susceptibilities & The Wróblewski Parameter
نویسنده
چکیده
The Wróblewski parameter is a convenient indicator of strangeness production and can be employed to monitor a signal of quark-gluon plasma production : enhancement of strangeness production. It has been shown to be about a factor two higher in heavy ion collisions than in hadronic collisions. Using a method proposed by us earlier, we obtained lattice QCD results for the Wróblewski parameter from our simulations of QCD with two light quarks both below and above the chiral transition. Our first principles based and parameter free result compare well with the A-A data from SPS and RHIC. PACS. 12.38.Mh Quark-gluon plasma – 12.38.Gc Lattice QCD calculations

Quark Number Fluctuations in a Chiral Model at Finite Baryon Chemical Potential
We discuss the net quark and isovector fluctuations as well as off-diagonal quark flavor susceptibilities along the chiral phase transition line in the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. The model is formulated at non-zero quark and isospin chemical potentials with non-vanishing vector couplings in the iso-scalar and iso-vector channels. We study the influence of the quark chemical potential on th...
متن کاملPressure and non-linear quark number susceptibilities in QCD
We report the first measurements of sixth order non-linear quark number susceptibilities in continuum QCD. This extends our earlier computation of the continuum limit [1] of non-linear quark number susceptibilities and the pressure in QCD for m/Tc = 0.1. For T/Tc ≥ 1.5, no phase transitions are observable for μ < 30T . Systematics of off-diagonal susceptibilities are reported. The equation of s...

Susceptibilities to order α s in the high density phase of QCD Abstract We compute the free energy density of QCD to order α s at very high density and non-zero quark masses. The counterterms needed to renormalise the theory to order α s is same as the vacuum (non-zero density) theory. We investigate the response of the theory to non-zero quark masses and chemical potentials. We study quark num...
متن کاملQuark number susceptibilities from lattice QCD
Results from our recent investigations of quark number susceptibilities in both quenched and 2-flavour QCD are presented as a function of valence quark mass and temperature. A strong reduction (∼40%) is seen in the strange quark susceptibility above Tc in both cases. A comparison of our isospin susceptibility results with the corresponding weak coupling expansion reveals once again the non-pert...
متن کاملSusceptibilities, the specific heat, and a cumulant in two-flavor QCD.
We study the quark mass dependence of various response functions, which contribute to chiral susceptibilities and the specific heat in the staggered fermion formulation of two-flavour QCD. This yields information about the critical exponents α, β and δ. In the case of the chiral susceptibility, obtained as derivative of the chiral order parameter with respect to the quark mass, we calculate all...
