Study of Higher-Order Cumulants of Net-Charge, Net-Hadron, Net-Kaon and Net-Proton Production in pp Collisions at \(\sqrt{s}\) = 13 TeV Using Pythia8 and Herwig
摘要
This study presents a Monte Carlo simulation of higher-order cumulants for net-charge, net-hadron, net-kaon, net-baryon, and net-proton distributions in proton-proton (pp) collisions at \(\sqrt{s}\) = 13 TeV, using pQCD models like Pythia8 and Herwig. It investigates the impact of different particle production mechanisms on these cumulants. The results provide a baseline for future experimental measurements at the LHC and offer insights into freeze-out parameters, phase transitions, and the connection between small systems and heavy-ion collisions.
