Dynamical net charge fluctuations have been studied in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions from the beam energy scan at RHIC and LHC energies by carrying out the hadronic model simulation. Monte Carlo model, HIJING, is used to generate events in two different modes, HIJING-default with jet quenching switched off and jet/minijet production switched off. A popular variable, ν[+-,dyn], is used to study the net charge fluctuations in different centrality bins and the findings are compared with the available experimental values reported earlier. Although the broad features of net charge fluctuations are reproduced by the HIJING, the model predicts the larger magnitude of fluctuations as compared to the one observed in experiments. The role of jets/minijets production in reducing the net charge fluctuations is, however, distinctly visible from the analysis of the two types of HIJING events. Furthermore, dNch/dη and 1/N scaling is partially exhibited, which is due to the fact that, in HIJING, nucleus-nucleus collisions are treated as multiple independent nucleon-nucleon collisions.

The STAR experiment at RHIC is upgrading the inner sectors of the Time Projection Chamber (iTPC) to increase the segmentation on the inner padplane from 13 to 40 rows and to replace the inner sector multiwire proportional chamber (MWPC). The upgrade will provide better momentum resolution, better dE/dx resolution, and most importantly it will provide improved acceptance at high rapidity to [Formula: see text]1.5 compared to the current TPC coverage of [Formula: see text]1.0. The enhanced TPC capabilities based on this upgrade are critical to the physics program of the Beam Energy Scan Phase II at RHIC during 2019-2020, in particular the QCD phase transition study. In this proceedings, the iTPC MWPC module fabrication and prototype testing results are discussed.
