$S$-matrix calculation of $BQ$ correlation at finite baryon density

Abstract

We calculate the baryon number--electric charge susceptibility at non-vanishing baryo-chemical potential within the model of hadron gas where pion-nucleon interaction is accounted for by the $S$-matrix formalism. The susceptibility is largely increased when the chemical potential grows within a phenomenologically relevant interval. The results are then evaluated along the chemical freeze-out line. We also calculate the evolution of the susceptibility in a cooling fireball by making use of the Partial Chemical Equilibrium model.
