Description
Experimental confirmation of the QCD critical point is an excellent test of QCD theory in the non-perturbative region and a landmark of exploring the QCD phase structure.
It is one of the main goals of the RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES) program. Fluctuations of conserved quantities, such as baryon, electric charge and strangeness numbers are sensitive observables
in relativistic heavy-ion collisions to probe the QCD phase transition and search for the QCD critical point. The STAR experiment has measured the fluctuations of net-proton (proxy for net-baryon (B)),net-kaon (proxy for net-strangeness (S)), and net-charge (Q). These measurements are important for understanding the phase structure of the quark matter at finite baryon chemical potential and temperature. In this seminar, I will present the cumulants of the net-proton, net-kaon and net-charge multiplicity distributions from thefirst phase of the Beam Energy Scan program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). The corresponding physics implications and future plan will be discussed.
