Chemical Freeze-out Parameters via a Non-perturbative QCD Approach

Abstract

By analyzing the calculated baryon number susceptibility ratios ${\chi_{1}^{B}}/{\chi_{2}^{B}}$ and ${\chi_{3}^{B}}/{\chi_{1}^{B}}$ in two-flavor system via the Dyson-Schwinger equation approach of QCD, we determine the chemical freeze-out temperature and baryon chemical potential in cases of both thermodynamic limit and finite size. We calculate the center-of-mass energy dependence of the ${\chi_{4}^{B}}/{\chi_{2}^{B}}\, (\kappa \sigma^{2})$ at the freeze-out line and find an excellent agreement with experimental data when taking into account the finite size effect. Our calculations indicate that the $\kappa \sigma^{2}$ exhibits a nonmonotonic behavior in lower collision energy region. We also predict that the collision energy dependence of ${\chi_{6}^{B}}/{\chi_{2}^{B}}$ is nonmonotonic.
