“…Meanwhile all collider heavy-ion experiments ALICE, PHENIX and STAR have carried out the measurement of cumulants of various orders and for several particle species [297,[300][301][302]. In the context of the RHIC BES-I, cumulants of net-proton, net-Kaon and netcharge multiplicity distributions have been measured as part of the search for the QCD critical region [297,301,302]. In the following we will discuss selected results from these measurements with an emphasis on net-protons, as they are believed to couple most strongly to the fluctuating σ field near the critical point, as we discussed in Sec.…”

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.

“…Those include the results fluctuations analysis from Lattice QCD [18][19][20][21][22], HRG model [12] and other methods [23,24]. In the low baryon density region, µ B ≤ 400 MeV, the µ B dependence of the freeze-out temperature is quite weak and the value of the freeze-out temperature is around [150][151][152][153][154][155][156][157][158][159][160] MeV. More dramatic drop of the temperature is seen in the high baryon density region.…”

With the aim of understanding the phase structure of nuclear matter created in high-energy nuclear collisions at finite baryon density, a beam energy scan program has been carried out at Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). In this mini-review, most recent experimental results on collectivity, criticality and heavy flavor productions will be discussed. The goal here is to establish the connection between current available data and future heavy-ion collision experiments in a high baryon density region.Particles 2020, xx, 5 0 -5% 60 -80% 0 -5% Au+Au at RHIC Pb+Pb at LHC A.

“…These are accessible to lattice QCD calculations [4] and are also the most promising observables in the experimental search for the conjectured critical point [5,6] in the phase diagram of QCD that is currently underway with the beam energy scan (BES) program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) [7]. The results on net electric charge [8,9] and net proton-number [10][11][12] fluctuations obtained from the first BES runs at RHIC have not yet provided conclusive evidence for the existence of a critical point. However, the data on the skewness and kurtosis of the distribution of net proton-number fluctuations show an intriguing dependence on the beam energy.…”
