Higher moments of net proton multiplicity distributions at RHIC.
TLDR
From the measurements at the three beam energies, no evidence for a critical point in the QCD phase diagram for μB below 200 MeV is found and the products κσ2 and Sσ are constant as functions of collision centrality.

Error Estimation for Moments Analysis in Heavy-Ion Collision Experiments
Fluctuations of conserved quantities are predicted to be sensitive to the correlation length and connected to the thermodynamic susceptibility. Thus, moments of net-baryon, net-charge and…

The order of the quantum chromodynamics transition predicted by the standard model of particle physics
TLDR
Finite-size scaling analysis shows that the finite-temperature QCD transition in the hot early Universe was not a real phase transition, but an analytic crossover (involving a rapid change, as opposed to a jump, as the temperature varied).
Non-Gaussian fluctuations near the QCD critical point.
TLDR
The magnitude of critical point contributions to non-Gaussian fluctuations of pion and proton multiplicities of fluctuations of experimental observables in heavy-ion collisions is estimated.
