BALANCE FUNCTION
August 11, 2005 [email protected] - ISMD05 Kromeriz 5
MOTIVATION
Oppositely charged particles are created at the same location of space – time.
Charge – anticharge particles that were created earlier (early stage hadronization) are separated further in rapidity.
Particle pairs that were created later (late stage hadronization) are correlated at small Δy.
The Balance Function quantifies the degree of this separation and relates it with the time of hadronization.
August 11, 2005 [email protected] - ISMD05 Kromeriz 6
DEFINITION
The Balance function is defined as a correlation in y of oppositely charged particles, minus the correlation of same charged particles, normalized to the total number of particles.
where P1: any rapidity interval in the detector
P2: relative rapidity interval

BALANCE FUNCTIONS – HOW DO THEY WORK
The Balance Function is constructed in such way that can identify correlated pairs of oppositely charged particles on a statistical basis.
This term is the conditional probability of detecting a particle of type b in the bin P2 whilst there is a particle of type a in the bin P1.
The numerator counts the pairs that satisfy both criteria within an event and then is summed over all events. The denominator counts particles that were used for the creation of pairs within an event. It is then summed over all events.

Due to cooling the width falls with time (σtherm).
THE WIDTH OF THE BALANCE FUNCTION
The overall width of the Balance Function (BF) in relative rapidity is a combination of the thermal spread and the effect of diffusion.
The effect of diffusion stretches the BF (σδn).
If the hadronization occurred at early times then the effect of collisions is to broaden the BF.
On the other hand late stage hadronization suggests narrower BF.

SUMMARY
August 11, 2005 [email protected] - ISMD05 Kromeriz 25
SUMMARY
BF could give us insight about the time of hadronization.
Results @ √sNN =17.2 GeV show that:
The width of the BF takes its maximum value for p+p interactions. The width of the BF for shuffled and HIJING events doesn’t show any sign of system size or centrality dependence. The width decreases with increasing system size and centrality in Pb+Pb interactions. The centrality dependence is of the order of (17 ± 3)%.The effect is not apparent in the forward rapidity region.STAR experiment shows the same trend. The centrality dependence is of the order of (14 ± 2)%.
Preliminary results @ √sNN =8.8 GeV show that:The width of the BF behaves in a similar way as in the previous case for both real and shuffled data. The centrality dependence is of the order of (14.5 ± 5)%.The effect is not apparent in the forward rapidity region.
Preliminary results from the energy scan show that:We have a plateau of the parameter W in the energy range 30-80AGeV.Then this parameter rises towards RHIC (LHC?) energies.
