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.

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.
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.
