Search for the QCD Critical Point with Fluctuations of Conserved Quantities in Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions at RHIC
Fluctuations of conserved quantities are predicted to be sensitive observables to probe the QCD phase transition and critical point in heavy-ion collisions. Experimentally, various cumulants (up to fourth order) of net-proton (proxy for net-baryon (B)), net-kaon (proxy for net-strangeness (S)), and...
