Beam Energy Dependence of Higher Moments of Net-proton Multiplicity
Distributions in Heavy-ion Collisions at RHIC    [PDF]

Xiaofeng Luo, for the STAR Collaboration

We present various order moments (Variance ($\sigma^2$), Skewness($S$), Kurtosis($\kappa$)) of net-proton multiplicity distributions in Au+Au collisions from the first phase of RHIC beam energy scan ({\sNN}=7.7$-$200 GeV). The measurements are carried out by the STAR detector at mid-rapidity ($|y|<0.5$) and within transverse momentum range $0.4View original: http://arxiv.org/abs/1306.3106
