Search for the critical point of strongly-interacting matter in ${}^{40}$Ar + ${}^{45}$Sc collisions at 150A GeV/c using scaled factorial moments of protons

SHINE Collaboration, H. Adhikary, P. Adrich +157

The critical point of dense, strongly interacting matter is searched for at the CERN SPS in ${}^{40}$Ar + ${}^{45}$Sc collisions at 150A GeV/c. The dependence of second-order scale…
