Centrality dependence of chemical freeze-out parameters from net-proton and net-charge fluctuations using hadron resonance gas model

Abstract

We estimate chemical freeze-out parameters in HRG and EVHRG model by fitting the experimental information of net-proton and net-charge fluctuations measured in Au + Au collisions by the STAR collaboration at RHIC. We observe that chemical freeze-out parameters obtained from lower and higher order fluctuations are though almost same for $\sqrt{s_{NN}} > 27$ GeV, tend to deviate from each other at lower $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$. Moreover, these separations increase with decrease of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ and for a fixed $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ increase towards central collisions. Furthermore, we observe an approximate scaling behaviour of $(μ_B/T)/(μ_B/T)_{central}$ with $(N_{part})/(N_{part})_{central}$ for the parameters estimated from lower order fluctuations for 11.5 GeV $\le \sqrt{s_{NN}} \le$ 200 GeV. Scaling is violated for the parameters estimated from higher order fluctuations for $\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 11.5$ and 19.6 GeV. It is observed that the chemical freeze-out parameter, which can describe $σ^2/M$ of net-proton very well in all energies and centralities, can not describe the $sσ$ equally well and vice versa.
