Quartic cumulant of baryon number in the presence of a QCD critical point
Quartic cumulant of baryon number in the presence of a QCD critical point
In the context of the ongoing search for the QCD critical point at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider, we study the equation of state near the critical point in the temperature and baryon chemical potential plane. We use the parametric representation introduced in earlier literature, which maps the universal 3D Ising …
