Proton-number fluctuation as a signal of the QCD critical end point.
We argue that the event-by-event fluctuation of the proton number is a meaningful and promising observable for the purpose of detecting the QCD critical end point in heavy-ion collision experiments. The long range fluctuation of the order parameter induces a characteristic correlation between protons which can be measured. The proton fluctuation also manifests itself as anomalous enhancement of...
متن کاملFinding the critical end point of QCD: lattice and experiment
The current status of the search for the critical end point on the lattice and in experiments is discussed. A naive extrapolation is given of lattice results on the location of the critical end point to the continuum limit with the correct pion mass. An interpretation of current results on fluctuations is provided. A new method of analysis of experimental data is discussed, which provides a che...
متن کاملDynamic nature at the QCD Critical End Point
We discuss the dynamic nature of the critical end point (CEP) which is the end point of the first order chiral phase transition. In the earlier work, Son and Stephanov analyzed the Langevin equation for CEP taking care of the mixing effect between the chiral condensate and the baryon number density and showed that the dynamic universality class of CEP is the model H, the same as that of the end...

متن کاملCorrelation Probes of a QCD Critical Point
Critical opalescence is a characteristic experimental signature of a second order phase transition in solid state physics. A new, experimentally accessible measure of opacity and of attenuation length in heavy ion reactions is suggested, as a combination of HBT radii and nuclear modification factors. This opacity is maximal when √ sNN , the system size and centrality correspond to the critical ...
