“…Previous studies of net-proton multiplicity distributions suggest that the possible CP region is unlikely to be below μ B ¼ 200 MeV [8]. The versatility of the RHIC machine has permitted the center of mass energy ( ffiffiffiffiffiffiffi ffi s NN p ) to be varied below the injection energy ( ffiffiffiffiffiffiffi ffi s NN p ¼ 19.6 GeV), thereby providing the possibility to scan the QCD phase diagram above μ B ∼ 250 MeV.…”

“…The decrease in the C 3 values with increasing beam energy indicates that the distributions become symmetric for the higher beam energies. The particle production at any given centrality can be considered a superposition of several identically distributed independent sources the number of which is proportional to N part [8]. For the cumulants, this means a linear increase with hN part i as the system volume increases.…”

We report the beam energy ( √ sNN = 7.7 -200 GeV) and collision centrality dependence of the mean (M ), standard deviation (σ), skewness (S), and kurtosis (κ) of the net-proton multiplicity distributions in Au+Au collisions. The measurements are carried out by the STAR experiment at midrapidity (|y| < 0.5) and within the transverse momentum range 0.4 < pT < 0.8 GeV/c in the first phase of the Beam Energy Scan program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. These measurements are important for understanding the Quantum Chromodynamic (QCD) phase diagram.

“…Experimentally, the net-baryon number N B fluctuations and their cumulants are not accessible, and so one has to resort to measurements of the cumulants of the net-proton number N P fluctuations [365,366]. On the other hand, the electric charge fluctuations are experimentally accessible [367].…”

Phenomenological Review on Quark–Gluon Plasma: Concepts vs. Observations

Abstract:In this review, we present an up-to-date phenomenological summary of research developments in the physics of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). A short historical perspective and theoretical motivation for this rapidly developing field of contemporary particle physics is provided. In addition, we introduce and discuss the role of the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) ground state, non-perturbative and lattice QCD results on the QGP properties, as well as the transport models used to make a connection between theory and experiment. The experimental part presents the selected results on bulk observables, hard and penetrating probes obtained in the ultra-relativistic heavy-ion experiments carried out at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (BNL RHIC) and CERN Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) and Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerators. We also give a brief overview of new developments related to the ongoing searches of the QCD critical point and to the collectivity in small (p + p and p + A) systems.

“…The non-Gaussian cumulants of the order parameter can be accessed in heavy-ion experiments via the event-by-event fluctuations of various conserved charges and particle multiplicities [5,6,7,8,9]. In this vein, a major focus of the Beam Energy Scan program at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider is measurements of the event-by-event fluctuations of particle multiplicities and conserved charges [10,11,12,13,14,15].…”

This contribution focuses on the determination of freeze-out conditions heavy-ion collisions through comparisons between lattice QCD calculations and experimental measurements. First, we discuss how the freeze-out condition can be determined by comparing lattice QCD calculated and experimentally measured electric charge fluctuations. Next, we present thermodynamic signatures of additional, yet unobserved strange hadrons and discuss their influence on the freeze-out temperature.
