We study the net-proton distributions and their moments in a simple model which considers the baryon stopping and pair production effects in the processes. It is shown that a single emission source model can explain the experimental data well. Centrality and energy dependence of the distributions and higher moments is discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-11-28T06:29:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "21.65.Qr", "25.75.Gz" ], "keywords": [ "relativistic heavy ion collisions", "net-proton distributions", "baryon production", "single emission source model", "higher order moments" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review C", "year": 2011, "month": "Dec", "volume": 84, "number": 6, "pages": "064908" }, "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 919749, "adsabs": "2011PhRvC..84f4908Y" } } }
