Event-by-Event Particle Ratio Fluctuations at LHC Energies by Shaista Khan, Bushra Ali, Anuj Chandra, Shakeel Ahmad

“…It is also observed that νdyn for all the three combinations of particles for semicentral and central collisions, the model predicted values of νdynA,B for Pb-Pb collisions at sNN=2.76 TeV agree fairly well with those observed in the ALICE experiment. For peripheral collisions, however, the model predicted values of νdynπ,K are somewhat smaller, whereas for p,K and π,p it predicts larger values as compared to the corresponding experimental values. …”
