Statistical and dynamical parts of the cumulants of conserved charges in relativistic heavy ion collisions

The Poisson-liked statistical fluctuations, which are caused by the finite number of produced particles, are firstly estimated for the cumulants of conserved charges, i.e., the cumulants of net-baryon, net-electric charge, and net-strangeness. They turn out to be the same as those baselines derived from Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model. The energy and centrality dependence of net-proton cumulants at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) are demonstrated to be mainly caused by statistical fluctuations. Subtracting the statistical fluctuations, the dynamical kurtosis of net- and total-proton from two versions of the AMPT model and the UrQMD model at current RHIC beam energies are presented. It is found that the observed sign change in the kurtosis of net-proton can not be reproduced by these three transport models. There is no significant difference between net- and total-proton kurtosis in model calculations, in contrary to the data at RHIC.
