Description
QCD critical point is a singularity on the QCD phase diagram with distinct signatures which make possible its discovery in heavy-ion collisions. I shall describe the characteristics of the non-monotonous behavior of observables measuring the magnitude and non-Gaussianity of event-by-event fluctuations as a function of the beam energy in the presence of the QCD critical point. I shall discuss implications for the RHIC Beam Energy Scan and what we can learn from recent data.
