Exploring the QCD phase diagram through correlations and fluctuations

Volker Koch, Volodymyr Vovchenko

The exploration of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram is a central goal of relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments. This review focuses on the role of fluctuations…

High-order cumulants and correlation functions near the critical point from molecular dynamics

Volodymyr A. Kuznietsov, Roman Poberezhniuk, Mark I. Gorenstein +2

We present a systematic investigation of particle number fluctuations in the crossover region near the critical endpoint of a first-order phase transition using molecular dynamics…

Proton cumulants from hydrodynamics in light of new STAR data

Volodymyr Vovchenko, Volker Koch

New measurements of proton number cumulants from the Beam Energy Scan Phase II (BES-II) program at RHIC by the STAR Collaboration provide unprecedented precision and insights into…

Acceptance dependence of factorial cumulants, long-range correlations, and the antiproton puzzle

Adam Bzdak, Volker Koch, Volodymyr Vovchenko

We analyze joint factorial cumulants of protons and antiprotons in relativistic heavy-ion collisions and point out that they obey the scaling $\hat{C}_{nm}^{p,\bar{p}} \propto \lan…

Coordinate versus momentum cuts and effects of collective flow on critical fluctuations

Volodymyr A. Kuznietsov, Mark I. Gorenstein, Volker Koch +1

We analyze particle number fluctuations in the crossover region near the critical endpoint of a first-order phase transition by utilizing molecular dynamics simulations of the clas…

Might Normal Nuclear Matter be Quarkyonic?

Volker Koch, Larry McLerran, Gerald A. Miller +1

The possibility that nuclear matter might be Quarkyonic is considered. Quarkyonic matter is high baryon density matter that is confined but can be approximately thought of as a fil…
