Role of new resonance states on fluctuations and correlations of conserved charges in hadron resonance gas model

Abstract

We investigate the role of suspected resonance states, that are yet to be confirmed experimentally, on different thermodynamic quantities as well as the higher-order fluctuations and the correlation between conserved charges using ideal hadron resonance gas (HRG) model. We have discussed the temperature dependence of the various thermodynamic quantities and compared them with the lattice QCD result. We observe that the values of the bulk thermodynamic variables such as pressure, energy density, entropy density and second-order susceptibilities are increased by the inclusion of the additional resonances. Further, we find that the hadronic phase of lattice QCD result of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can be described well in ideal HRG model with the additional resonances. We have also studied the [Formula: see text] dependence of the fluctuation observables of net-proton, net-kaon and net-charge. Proper experimental acceptance cuts have been used in the model to compare with the data from experimental measurements. It has been observed that the experimental data of lower-order fluctuation observable can be described well by the ideal HRG model. However, higher-order fluctuation observables cannot be described by ideal HRG model for all [Formula: see text] studied here, which indicates the possibility of presence of critical or nonequilibrium physics for those energies. The effect of additional resonances on fluctuation observables of net-charge at different [Formula: see text] has also been studied. Finally, the chemical freeze-out parameters have been extracted from the experimental data of [Formula: see text] of net-proton and net-charge using two different sets of hadronic spectra. We find that for both the sets, the extracted temperature is slightly lower than those obtained from the hadronic yields. Moreover, it is observed that the extracted temperature of the system gets further reduced with addition of more resonances.
