Prospects of detecting the QCD critical point
N. G. Antoniou, Y. F. Contoyiannis, F. K. Diakonos +1
We investigate the possibility to observe the QCD critical point in A+A collisions at the SPS. Guided by the QCD phase diagram expressed in experimentally accessible variables we s…
Locating the QCD Critical Point in the Phase Diagram
N. G. Antoniou, F. K. Diakonos, A. S. Kapoyannis
It is shown that the hadronic matter formed at high temperatures, according to the prescription of the statistical bootstrap principle, develops a critical point at nonzero baryon…
Quark-Hadron Critical Point consistent with Bootstrap and Lattice QCD
N. G. Antoniou, F. K. Diakonos, A. S. Kapoyannis
The critical sector of strong interactions at high temperatures is explored in the frame of two complementary paradigms: Statistical Bootstrap for the hadronic phase and Lattice QC…
Observational Critical QCD
N. G. Antoniou, Y. F. Contoyiannis, F. K. Diakonos +1
A detailed study of correlated scalars, produced in collisions of nuclei and associated with the -field fluctuations, , at the QCD critical point (critical fluc…
Net-Baryon fluctuations at the QCD critical point
N. G. Antoniou, F. K. Diakonos, A. S. Kapoyannis
In the vicinity of the quark-hadron critical point, in the phase diagram of QCD, simple power-law relations constrain the mid-rapidity net-baryon density profile, for different hea…
Net-baryon scaling near the QCD critical point
N. G. Antoniou, F. K. Diakonos, A. S. Kapoyannis
The net-baryon density at midrapidity is proposed as an order parameter in the search for the QCD critical point in heavy ion collisions. As a function of the initial energy and th…
