Baryon-strangeness correlations as a diagnostic tool
- 1. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720 (United States)
Description
The correlation between baryon number and strangeness, CBS -3σBS/σS2, elucidates the nature of strongly interacting matter, such as that formed transiently in high-energy nuclear collisions. This diagnostic can be extracted from lattice QCD calculations by means of its expression in terms of flavor susceptibilities, CBS = 1 + (χus + χds)/χss. The smallness of the mixed-flavor susceptibitities severely limits the presence of qq(bar sign) bound states above the critical temperature, thus supporting a mean-field picture of independent (quasi)quarks
