Description:
Author(s): Jasmine Brewer, Swagato Mukherjee, Krishna Rajagopal, and Yi Yin Near a critical point in a phase diagram, certain observables show characteristic fluctuations. The authors qualitatively predict how such fluctuations depend on the rapidity in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, and thereby present a distinctive observable to search for the critical endpoint in the QCD phase diagram. This is particularly relevant to the coming low-beam-energy scan at RHIC. [Phys. Rev. C 98, 061901(R)] Published Thu Dec 13, 2018
