Higher moment singularities explored by the net proton non-statistical fluctuations

Abstract

We use the non-statistical fluctuation instead of the full one to explore the higher moment singularities of net proton event distributions in the relativistic Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ from 11.5 to 200 GeV calculated by the parton and hadron cascade model PACIAE. The PACIAE results of mean ($M$), variance ($σ^2$), skewness ($S$), and kurtosis ($κ$) are consistent with the corresponding STAR data. Non-statistical moments are calculated as the difference between the moments derived from real events and the ones from mixed events, which are constructed by combining particles randomly selected from different real events. An evidence of singularity at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}\sim$ 60 GeV is first seen in the energy dependent non-statistical $S$ and $Sσ$.
