Baryon number, strangeness, and electric charge fluctuations in hydrodynamics at the LHC

ORAL

Abstract

At LHC energies it is possible to generate BSQ (baryon, strangeness, and electric) charge fluctuations from gluon splittings into quark anti-quark pairs, generated within the ICCING model. Here we propagate these conserved charges within an upgraded version of the hydrodynamic model, v-USPhydro, that conserves BSQ coupled to a 4-D equation of state {T,μB,μS,μQ} from Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics. We find that solely due to charge fluctuations that we expect large fluctuations in the chemical potentials {μB,μS,μQ} in local fluid cells at freeze-out even at LHC energies.
