Overview of experimental critical point search

Nuclear Experiment 2020-01-08 v1 High Energy Physics - Experiment Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The existence and location of the QCD critical point is an object of vivid experimental and theoretical studies. Rich and beautiful data recorded by experiments at SPS and RHIC allow for a systematic search for the critical point - the search for a non-monotonic dependence of various correlation and fluctuation observables on collision energy and size of colliding nuclei.
