Abstract

We present simulation results of net charge fluctuation in Au+AuAu+Au collisions at snn\sqrt{s_{nn}}=130 GeV from a dynamic model, JPCIAE. The calculations are done for the quark-gluon phase before hadronization, the pion gas, the resonance pion gas from ρ\rho and ω\omega decays and so on. The simulations of the charge fluctuation show that the discrepancy exists between the dynamic model and the thermal model for a pion gas and a resonance pion gas from ρ\rho and ω\omega decays while the simulated charge fluctuation of the quark-gluon phase is close to the thermal model prediction. JPCIAE results of net charge fluctuation in the hardonic phase are nearly 4-5 times larger than one for the quark-gluon phase, which implies that the charge fluctuation in the quark-gluon phase may not survive the hadronization (string fragmentation) as implemented in JPCIAE.
