Strongly Intensive Measures for Transverse Momentum and Particle Number Fluctuations

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

The strongly intensive measures Δ[PT,N]Δ[P_T,N] and Σ[PT,N]Σ[P_T,N] are used to study the event-by-event fluctuations of the transverse momentum PTP_T and particle multiplicity NN in nucleus-nucleus collisions. A special normalization for these fluctuation measures ensures that they are dimensionless and yields a common scale required for a quantitative comparison of fluctuations. In this paper basic properties of the Δ[PT,N]Δ[P_T, N] and Σ[PT,N]Σ[P_T, N] measures are tested within different phenomenological models using the Monte Carlo simulations (the so-called fast generators) and analytical solutions. The obtained results are helpful to elucidate the properties of Δ[PT,N]Δ[P_T,N] and Σ[PT,N]Σ[P_T,N] measures.
