- Abstract
Size and position of rapidity window dependence of charge fluctuations and correlations are studied by PYTHIA and RQMD models for hadron–hadron and nucleus–nucleus collisions respectively. The results show that all the measures for charge fluctuations and correlations depend on the size of central rapidity windows and most of them depend on the position of the rapidity windows, which is not expected. Only charge balance function in hadron–hadron collisions is independent of the position of rapidity window, i.e. boost-invariant, in consistent with corresponding experimental data, while charge fluctuations measured by D(Q) is not boost-invariant in contrast to the experimental data. The measures for three kind of charge correlations (R++, R--, R+-) show a good account for the behavior of charge correlations and global charge conservation in longitudinal phase space in both PYTHIA and RQMD.
