Baryon fluctuation signatures of the onset of deconfinement
Marek Gazdzicki, Mark Gorenstein, Anar Rustamov
An anomalous collision-energy dependence of proton number fluctuations is predicted as a consequence of the onset of deconfinement in heavy-ion collisions at the center of mass ene…

The phase structure of QCD: Fluctuations and Correlations
Peter Braun-Munzinger, Anar Rustamov, Nu Xu
The strong interaction - governed by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) - shapes the structure of the visible universe. At about 10 s after the big bang, the primordial matter made u…

Baselines for Abelian Charge Fluctuations in Nuclear Collisions:Theory and Comparison with Experimental Data
Bengt Friman, Krzysztof Redlich, Anar Rustamov
We investigate fluctuations in the canonical ensemble of an Abelian charge, such as baryon number. Our focus is on cumulants and factorial cumulants of baryon and antibaryon multip…
