(Color online) Distributions of the invariant mass of $Z/\gamma^{*} \to e^{+}e^{−}$ candidate events satisfying all selection criteria described in Sec. IVC. The $Z/\gamma^{*} \to e^{+}e^{−}$ MC distribution (dashed line) is shown for comparison. Note the larger bin widths relative to Fig. 7

(Color online) W cross section ratio, $R_{W}$, for the two $e^{\pm}$ pseudorapidity bins. Theory calculations at NLO from the fewz program using the MSTW08 and CTEQ 6.6 PDF sets (with 90% confidence level error eigenvector uncertainties) are shown for comparison.

(Color online) Invariant mass distribution of coherently produced $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$: The filled circles are the measured points with the statistical errors, the gray filled histogram is the background estimated from charged four-prongs (cf. Fig. 2). The thick black line shows the fit of a modified $S$-wave Breit-Wigner on top of a second order polynomial background (thin black line; cf. Eq. (5)) taking into account the detector acceptance in the region $|y| < 1$ (rising dashed line). The dotted curve represents the signal curve without background.

(Color online) Invariant mass distribution of coherently produced $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ pairs. The filled circles are the measured points with statistical errors. The thick black line shows the fit taking into account the detector acceptance in the region $|y| < 1$. The non-interfering combinatorial background is represented by the thin black line, which is a fit to the like-sign invariant mass distribution scaled by a factor estimated from the $p_{T}$ distribution (gray filled histogram). The dotted curve shows the Breit-Wigner without background, the dashed line the interfering background component that is assumed to be mass-independent. The dash-dotted curve is the Söding interference term of the two [31].

(Color online) High mass region of the $m_{\pi^{+}\pi^{-}}$ spectrum with tighter cuts applied in order to suppress background: The filled circles are the measured values with statistical errors. No significant enhancement is seen in the region around 1540 MeV/$c^{2}$ where the $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ invariant mass spectrum exhibits a peak. The thick solid line shows the fit of a modified $S$-wave Breit-Wigner (cf. Eq. (5)) with parameters fixed to the values extracted from the fit of the $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ invariant mass distribution on top of an $S$-wave Breit-Wigner that describes the tail of the $\rho^{0}$(770) (thin solid line) taking into account the detector acceptance. The dashed curve represents the signal curve without the $\rho^{0}$ tail.

(Color online) $\Lambda$ and $\overline{\Lambda}$ spectra on the deuteron and on the gold side in $d$ + Au minimum bias collisions. The data points on the gold side are multiplied by 2 for better visibility. The statistical errors are smaller than the points marking the measurements. The curves show a fit with a Boltzmann function in transverse mass to the data points.

(Color online) (a) Comparison of the measured $\overline{\Lambda}$ yield with model calculations. Statistical errors are shown as vertical error bars, the vertical caps show the quadratic sum of statistical and systematic er- rors including the overall normalization uncertainty. In both panels the target and projectile beam rapidities are indicated by arrows.

(Color online) Minimum bias $\overline{\Lambda}/\Lambda$ ratio compared to model calculations. On the deuteron side HIJING/BB shows the best agreement with the results, while on the Au side only AMPT and EPOS give a satisfactory description of the data.

$\overline{\Lambda}/\Lambda$ ratio and net $\Lambda$ and $\overline{\Lambda}$ yields as a function of collision centrality on both the deuteron (left) and the gold side (right). On the deuteron side, centrality is expressed by the number of collisions per deuteron participant, while on the gold side the number of Au participants is chosen. Only statistical errors are shown. The increase in baryon number transport with centrality, shown by the net $\Lambda$ yield, is matched by the increase of $\overline{\Lambda}$-$\Lambda$ pair production, thus keeping the $\overline{\Lambda}/\Lambda$ ratio constant over a wide centrality range.

(Color online) Net $\Lambda dN/dy$ for central, mid-central and peripheral events on both the deuteron and the Au side of the collision. The data are compared to calculations of the distribution of net baryons obtained with the Multichain model [16] with $\alpha$ = 2.9, scaled by 0.1 to account for the conversion from net baryons to net $\Lambda$. An overall scale uncertainty of 10% on the model curves from this conversion is not shown. See text for details.
