6 Why fluctuations are large at a critical point? The key equation: P (σ) e S(σ) (Einstein 1910) At the critical point S(σ) flattens. And χ σ 2 /V. CLT? σ is not a sum of many uncorrelated contributions: ξ M. Stephanov (UIC) Fluctuations and the QCD Critical Point Weizmann / 15

8 Higher order cumulants Higher cumulants (shape of P (σ)) depend stronger on ξ. E.g., σ 2 V ξ 2 while σ 4 c V ξ 7 Higher moments also depend on which side of the CP we are. This dependence is also universal. Using Ising model variables: M. Stephanov (UIC) Fluctuations and the QCD Critical Point Weizmann / 15
9 Why ξ is finite System expands and is out of equilibrium In this talk equilibrium fluctuations. The only dynamical effect we consider is the one which makes ξ finite: Critical slowing down. Universal scaling law: ξ τ 1/z, where 1/τ is expansion rate and z 3 (Son-MS). Estimates: ξ 2 3 fm (Berdnikov-Rajagopal, Asakawa-Nonaka). Dynamical description of fluctuations is essential and is work in progress. M. Stephanov (UIC) Fluctuations and the QCD Critical Point Weizmann / 15

19 Beam Energy Scan intriguing hint (2015 LRPNS) M. Stephanov (UIC) Fluctuations and the QCD Critical Point Weizmann / 15
20 QM2017 update: another intriguing hint Preliminary, but very interesting: Non-monotonous s dependence with max near 19 GeV. Charge/isospin blind. φ (in)dependence is as expected from critical correlations. Width η suggests soft thermal pions but p T dependence need to be checked. But: no signal in R 2 for K or p. M.

23 Acceptance dependence two regimes How do cumulants depend on acceptance? Let κ n (M) be a cumulant of M multiplicity of accepted, say, protons. y y corr CLT applies. κ n M or ω n κ n M const an intensive, or volume indep. measure M.

Subtracting trivial (uncorrelated, Poisson) contribution: κ n M M n proportional to number of correlated n-plets; or ω n 1 M n 1. M.

27 Concluding summary A fundamental question for Heavy-Ion collision experiments: Is there a critical point on the boundary between QGP and hadron gas phases? Intriguing data from RHIC BES I. Needed: better understanding. More data from BES II. Critical fluctuations have many universal properties. Characteristic non-monotonic s dependence of fluctuations (with sign change for non-gaussian moments) a CP signature. Increase of signal with rapidity acceptance is characteristic of critical fluctuations. Dynamical description of fluctuations is essential and is work in progress. M.
