TLDR
In this paper, the first four moments of baryon number, electric charge and strangeness fluctuations within the hadron resonance gas model were calculated and compared with the first data on net proton fluctuations in Au-Au collisions obtained at RHIC by the STAR Collaboration.

Challenges in QCD matter physics --The scientific programme of the Compressed Baryonic Matter experiment at FAIR

T. O. Ablyazimov, +602 more
TL;DR: The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment at FAIR will play a unique role in the exploration of the QCD phase diagram in the region of high net-baryon densities, because it is designed to run at unprecedented interaction rates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scale for the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics.

TL;DR: This study provides evidence for thermalization in high-energy ion collisions and allows to find the crossover temperature between normal nuclear matter and a deconfined phase called the quark gluon plasma, which allows to set a scale for the phase diagram of QCD.

Search for the QCD critical point with fluctuations of conserved quantities in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC: an overview

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental measurements of the cumulants (up to fourth order) of event-by-event netproton (proxy for net-baryon), net-charge and net-strangeness) multiplicity distributions in Au+Au collisions were reviewed.

Search for the QCD Critical Point with Fluctuations of Conserved Quantities in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions at RHIC : An Overview

TL;DR: In this article, the experimental measurements of the cumulants (up to fourth order) of event-by-event netproton (proxy for netbaryon), net-charge and net-strangeness) multiplicity distributions in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=7.7, 11.5, 14.6, 27, 39, 62.4, 200$ GeV from the first phase of beam energy scan program at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC).

Signatures of the Tricritical Point in QCD

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of event-by-event observables, including suppressed fluctuations in T and baryon chemical potential {mu} and, simultaneously, enhanced fluctuations in the multiplicity of soft pions, is proposed to identify the tricritical point on the boundary of the phase with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry.

Systematic measurements of identified particle spectra in pp, d+Au, and Au+Au collisions at the star detector.

- 03 Mar 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the charged-particle spectra at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) time projection chamber and reported the average transverse momenta, total particle production, particle yield ratios, strangeness, and baryon production rates as a function of collision system and centrality.

Is there still any Tc mystery in lattice QCD? Results with physical masses in the continuum limit III

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended their previous two studies (Phys. Lett. B643 (2006) 46, JHEP 0906:088 (2009)) by choosing even ner lattices (Nt=16) and working again with physical quark masses.

Hadron production in central nucleus-nucleus collisions at chemical freeze-out

TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental hadron yield ratios for central nucleus-nucleus collisions were analyzed in terms of thermal model calculations over a broad energy range, s N N = 27 − 200 GeV, and fits of the experimental data with the model calculations provided the thermal parameters, temperature and baryo-chemical potential at chemical freezeout.
