Abstract

Event-by-event fluctuations of the K/π, K/p, and p/π ratio in central AA collisions have been studied for SPS and RHIC energies. The Hadron-String-Dynamical transport approach (HSD) can qualitatively reproduce the measured excitation function for the K/π ratio fluctuations. The di-jet azimuthal correlations also have been investigated within the HSD model. We found that the suppression of the away-side jet in the hadronic mediumis not enough to explain the experimental data from RHIC. The additional suppression should be attributed to a quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions.
