Abstract

It is of fundamental interest to understand the carrier of conserved quantum charges within protons and nuclei at high energy. Preliminary data from isobar collisions at RHIC reveal a scaled net-baryon to net-electric charge ratio (B/ΔQ×ΔZ/AB/\Delta Q \times \Delta Z/A) at mid-rapidity between 1.2 and 2, consistent with string junction model predictions. Here, we compute the initial stage scaled net-baryon to net-electric charge ratio for isobar collisions. Our model incorporates a realization of the string junction model and models the nuclear structure. Our predictions identify the baseline expectations for such measurement and quantify the impact of the nuclear structure.
