Non-Gaussian fluctuations in relativistic hydrodynamics: Confluent equations for three-point correlations
Xin An, Gokce Basar, Mikhail Stephanov
We derive deterministic equations for the evolution of non-Gaussian fluctuations in relativistic stochastic hydrodynamics. This is achieved by defining the average local Landau fra…
Equation of state and cumulants of proton multiplicity in equilibrium near critical point from Pade estimates
Gokce Basar, Maneesha Pradeep, Mikhail Stephanov
The fluctuations of proton multiplicity in heavy-ion collisions are the key observables in the search for the QCD critical point. In this work we present an approach to constrainin…
Factorial cumulants of proton multiplicity near a critical point using maximum entropy freeze-out prescription
Jamie Karthein, Maneesha Pradeep, Krishna Rajagopal +2
We present the first application of the maximum-entropy freeze-out prescription to calculate factorial cumulants of proton multiplicities near the conjectured QCD critical point in…
Quantifying fluctuation signatures of the QCD critical point using maximum entropy freeze-out
Jamie M. Karthein, Maneesha Sushama Pradeep, Krishna Rajagopal +2
A key question about the QCD phase diagram is whether there is a critical point somewhere on the boundary between the hadronic and quark-gluon plasma phases, and if so where. Heavy…
QCD critical point: recent developments
Mikhail Stephanov
Recent developments aimed at mapping QCD phase diagram and the search for the QCD critical point in heavy-ion collisions are briefly reviewed.
Equilibrium expectations for non-Gaussian fluctuations near a QCD critical point
Jamie M. Karthein, Maneesha Sushama Pradeep, Krishna Rajagopal +2
With the highly anticipated results from the Beam Energy Scan II program at RHIC being recently revealed, an understanding of particle-number fluctuations and their significance as…
