  1. 347. The RHIC Beam Energy Scan Program: Results from the PHENIX Experiment
    Jeffery Mitchell (Brookhaven National Laboratory)
    17/08/2012, 16:30
    Oral Presentation
    Many recent lattice QCD calculations predict that there may be a first order phase transition from hadronic matter to a Quark-Gluon Plasma that ends in a critical point, with a continuous phase transition on the other side of the critical point. The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) has conducted a program to probe different regions of the QCD phase diagram in the vicinity of the possible...

  2. 280. Beam energy and centrality dependence of the statistical moments of the net-charge multiplicity distribution in Au+Au collisions at STAR

    Oral Presentation
    In part to search for a possible critical point (CP) in the phase diagram of hot nuclear matter, a beam energy scan was performed at the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The STAR experiment collected significant Au+Au data sets at beam energies, $\sqrt{\rm s_{\rm NN}}$, of 7.7, 11.5, 19.6, 27, 39, 62.4 and 200 GeV. Lattice and phenomenological...

  3. 27. Baryon number conservation and cumulants of net proton distribution
    Adam Bzdak (Brookhaven National Laboratory)

    Exploring the QCD phase diagram
    Oral Presentation
    We discuss the effects of the global baryon and electric charge conservation on the cumulants of net baryon and net proton fluctuations [1], which are considered to be sensitive probes of the QCD critical point. We show that the cumulants are substantially suppressed if the conservation laws are taken into account. We propose a new observable that is not influenced by the global baryon...

  4. 158. Search for the QCD Critical Point by Higher Moments of Net-proton Multiplicity Distributions at STAR
    Dr Xiaofeng Luo (Central China Normal University)

    Exploring the QCD phase diagram
    Oral Presentation
    One of the main goals of the RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES) Program is to search for the QCD Critical Point and the phase boundary in the QCD phase diagram. Higher moments of event-by-event net-proton multiplicity distributions have high sensitivity to the correlation length[1], and they are directly connected to the susceptibilities in the Lattice Gauge Theory (LGT) calculations and the Hadron...

  5. 74. Report from NA49 and NA61/SHINE at the CERN SPS
    Anar Rustamov (Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe Univ. (DE))
    17/08/2012, 17:50
    Exploring the QCD phase diagram
    Oral Presentation
    Recent results from the study of nucleus-nucleus as well as proton-proton collisions at the CERN SPS energies from experiment NA49 and its successor NA61/SHINE will be summarized. New results from a novel fluctuation analysis and from the search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter will be discussed. First measurements from NA61 of the energy dependence of...
