Excited cluster states: A new source for proton number fluctuations in the high baryon density regime by Boris Tomášik, Marcus Bleicher

“…As expected the contribution of excited cluster states is most important at low energies sNN<3.5 GeV and becomes negligible at higher collision energies. Especially in light of the expected ultra-high precision data from CBM at FAIR, this new contribution is important to allow for a quantitative comparison with (potentially later available) lattice QCD or effective model results.…”
