    Importance of the Volume Fluctuation Correction on Higher Order Cumulants

    Tetsuro Sugiura🇯🇵

    Initial volume fluctuation (VF) caused by participant fluctuation would be the background which should be subtracted from experimentally measured higher-order cumulants. STAR experiment has been applied Centrality Bin Width Correction (CBWC) to suppress VF. However, CBWC is not perfect method, there might be thus residual fractions of VF backgrounds. Recently, Volume Fluctuation Correction (VFC) was developed under the assumption of the independent particle production (IPP) model. In this talk, the importance of subtracting VF and validity of the VFC are studied by using simple toy models assuming IPP as well as UrQMD model. The results showed that VFC worked well in toy model but did not work well in UrQMD which imply that IPP model could be broken in UrQMD.

    Fission and gamma-emission probabilities induced by transfer or inelastic scattering reactions with light projectile nuclei are very valuable quantities for constraining the models that describe the de-excitation of heavy nuclei. We have developed an experimental set-up that allows us to simultaneously measure fission and gamma-emission probabilities. The measurement of the gamma-emission probability at excitation energies where the fission channel is open is challenging due to the intense background of gamma rays emitted by the fission fragments. We discuss the procedure to subtract such a background and the constraints that this subtraction and other experimental conditions put on the set up. We show that our set-up complies with these constraints.
