Michael Weber (for the ALICE collaboration)
TL;DR
This paper investigates net-charge fluctuations and charge balance functions in lead-lead collisions at the LHC to understand the properties of hot nuclear matter created in such high-energy events.
Contribution
It provides new measurements of net-charge fluctuations and charge balance functions at the LHC, offering insights into the charge correlations in quark-gluon plasma.
Findings
Net-charge fluctuations are measured event-by-event in Pb-Pb collisions.
Charge balance functions are analyzed in pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle differences.
Results contribute to understanding the charge correlation structure in high-temperature nuclear matter.
Abstract
The measurement of event-by-event fluctuations and charge-dependent particle correlations are used to study properties of nuclear matter at high temperatures as produced in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions. We present results for event-by-event net-charge fluctuations and charge balance functions in \Delta\eta\ and \Delta\phi\ in Pb-Pb collisions at sqrt(s_NN)= 2.76 TeV.
