Abstract

We calculate the quadratic fluctuations of net baryon number, electric charge and strangeness as well as correlations among these conserved charges in ($2+1$)-flavor lattice QCD at zero chemical potential. Results are obtained using calculations with tree-level improved gauge and the highly improved staggered quark actions with almost physical light and strange quark masses at three different values of the lattice cutoff. Our choice of parameters corresponds to a value of 160 MeV for the lightest pseudoscalar Goldstone mass and a physical value of the kaon mass. The three diagonal charge susceptibilities and the correlations among conserved charges have been extrapolated to the continuum limit in the temperature interval $150\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}\ensuremath{\le}T\ensuremath{\le}250\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$. We compare our results with the hadron resonance gas (HRG) model calculations and find agreement with HRG model results only for temperatures $T\ensuremath{\lesssim}150\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$. We observe significant deviations in the temperature range $160\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}\ensuremath{\lesssim}T\ensuremath{\lesssim}170\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$ and qualitative differences in the behavior of the three conserved charge sectors. At $T\ensuremath{\simeq}160\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$ quadratic net baryon number fluctuations in QCD agree with HRG model calculations, while the net electric charge fluctuations in QCD are about 10% smaller and net strangeness fluctuations are about 20% larger. These findings are relevant to the discussion of freeze-out conditions in relativistic heavy ion collisions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
