Abstract

The recently proposed two families of strongly intensive measures of fluctuations and correlations are studied within Hadron-String-Dynamics (HSD) transport approach to nucleus-nucleus collisions. We consider the measures ΔKπ\Delta^{K\pi} and ΣKπ\Sigma^{K\pi} for kaon and pion multiplicities in Au+Au collisions in a wide range of collision energies and centralities. These strongly intensive measures appear to cancel the participant number fluctuations. This allows to enlarge the centrality window in the analysis of event-by-event fluctuations up to at least of 10% most central collisions. We also present a comparison of the HSD results with the data of NA49 and STAR collaborations. The HSD describes ΣKπ\Sigma^{K\pi} reasonably well. However, the HSD results depend monotonously on collision energy and do not reproduce the bump-deep structure of ΔKπ\Delta^{K\pi} observed from the NA49 data in the region of the center of mass energy of nucleon pair sNN=8÷12\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 8\div 12 GeV. This fact deserves further studies. The origin of this `structure' is not connected with simple geometrical or limited acceptance effects, as these effects are taken into account in the HSD simulations.
