Abstract
- Driven by the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at the RHIC, researches and discussions on the QCD phase diagram have flourished recently. In order to provide a reference from microscopic transport models, we performed a systematic analysis, using a multiphase transport (AMPT) model for the particle yields and a statistical model (THERMUS) for the thermal fit, for Au + Au collisions at √sNN=7.7-200 GeV. It is found that at a fixed collision centrality the chemical freeze-out parameter, temperature Tch, increases with collision energy and somehow saturates at certain values of Tch in collisions near √sNN=10 GeV, indicating the limiting temperature in hadronic interactions; meanwhile the baryon chemical potential μB decrease with the collision energy. The saturation temperature is also found to be dependent on partonic interaction. At a given collision energy, it is found that both Tch and μB decrease towards more peripheral collisions in the grand canonical approach. The energy and centrality dependence of other chemical freeze-out parameters, strangeness chemical potential μS, strangeness undersaturation factor γS, and the volume of the fireball V are also presented in this paper. The chemical potential ratio μs/μB is also compared with lattice QCD calculation. The AMPT default model gives better descriptions on both the particle yields and the chemical freeze-out parameters than those from the AMPT string-melting model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
