“…Their main focus is the search for possible structures in the QCD phase diagram with various fluctuation and correlation observables for various energies and colliding systems [210]. In particular, NA49 and NA61/SHINE obtained results on the scaled variance [211][212][213][214], strongly intensive quantities [211,[215][216][217][218][219][220], intermittency [221][222][223], and many others [224][225][226][227][228]. Also, the HADES experiment at GSI Darmstadt, which measures at very low collision energies, has some capability to address fluctuation observables.…”

We review the present status of the search for a phase transition and critical point as well as anomalous transport phenomena in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), with an emphasis on the Beam Energy Scan program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. We present the conceptual framework and discuss the observables deemed most sensitive to a phase transition, QCD critical point, and anomalous transport, focusing on fluctuation and correlation measurements. Selected experimental results for these observables together with those characterizing the global properties of the systems created in heavy ion collisions are presented. We then discuss what can be already learned from the currently available data about the QCD critical point and anomalous transport as well as what additional measurements and theoretical developments are needed in order to discover these phenomena.

“…Such fluctuations have been proposed as experimental observable for the detection of a CEP in a heavyion collision [11,12]. However, measurements in the NA49 experiment could hardly find any non-monotonic behavior [13,14]. It has later been shown that higher moments or cumulants and their ratios are even more sensitive to a critical structure [15].…”

Abstract.We study the variance and kurtosis of the net-baryon number in a fluid dynamical model for heavy-ion collisions. It is based on an effective chiral model with dilatons for the strong coupling regime of QCD. Taking into account spinodal instabilities, we demonstrate that this model exhibits a diverging quark number susceptibility and kurtosis all along the spinodal lines of the first-order phase transition, with a change of universality class at the critical end point. During the (3+1) dimensional expansion of a hot and dense fireball, instabilities are created by fluctuations in the explicitly propagated chiral and dilaton field. We find a clear enhancement of event-by-event fluctuations of the baryon number at the critical point and first-order phase transition in comparison with an evolution through the crossover region.

“…Event-by-event p T fluctuations have been studied in nucleus-nucleus (A-A) collisions at the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) [10][11][12][13][14] and at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) [15][16][17][18][19][20], where dynamical fluctuations have been observed. Fluctuations of p T were found to decrease with collision centrality, as generally expected in a dilution scenario caused by superposition of partially independent e-mail: alice-publications@cern.ch particle-emitting sources.…”

Event-by-event fluctuations of the mean transverse momentum of charged particles produced in pp collisions at √ s = 0.9, 2.76 and 7 TeV, and Pb-Pb collisions at √ s NN = 2.76 TeV are studied as a function of the chargedparticle multiplicity using the ALICE detector at the LHC. Dynamical fluctuations indicative of correlated particle emission are observed in all systems. The results in pp collisions show little dependence on collision energy. The Monte Carlo event generators PYTHIA and PHOJET are in qualitative agreement with the data. Peripheral Pb-Pb data exhibit a similar multiplicity dependence as that observed in pp. In central Pb-Pb, the results deviate from this trend, featuring a significant reduction of the fluctuation strength. The results in PbPb are in qualitative agreement with previous measurements in Au-Au at lower collision energies and with expectations from models that incorporate collective phenomena.
