Beam Energy Dependence of Moments of the Net-Charge Multiplicity Distributions in Au + Au Collisions at RHIC

We report the first measurements of the moments—mean (M), variance (σ[superscript 2]), skewness (S), and kurtosis (κ)—of the net-charge multiplicity distributions at midrapidity in Au + Au collisions at seven energies, ranging from √s[subscript NN] = 7.7 to 200 GeV, as a part of the Beam Energy Scan...
