Predictions for net-proton and net-kaon distributions at LHC energies

We investigate baryon and charge transport in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, compare with Au+Au RHIC data at sNN=0.2 TeV, and make predictions for net-proton rapidity distributions in central Pb+Pb collisions at CERN LHC energies of sNN=2.8, 3.9, and 5.5 TeV. We use the gluon saturation model an...

Description
Summary:We investigate baryon and charge transport in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, compare with Au+Au RHIC data at sNN=0.2 TeV, and make predictions for net-proton rapidity distributions in central Pb+Pb collisions at CERN LHC energies of sNN=2.8, 3.9, and 5.5 TeV. We use the gluon saturation model and put special emphasis on the midrapidity valley |y|⩽2. Net-kaon distributions are calculated and compared to BRAHMS Au+Au data at RHIC energies of sNN=0.2 TeV, and predicted for Pb+Pb at 5.5 TeV.
