Description
Summary:The existence and location of the QCD critical point are objects of both experimental and theoretical studies. The comprehensive data collected by NA61/SHINE during a two-dimensional scan in beam momentum and system size allows for a systematic search for the critical point – a search for a non-monotonic dependence of various correlation and fluctuation observables on collision energy and size of colliding nuclei. Intermittency analysis is a statistical tool used in heavy ion collisions that includes the study of scaled factorial moments (SFMs) of multiplicity distributions in the 2D transverse momentum space to detect power-law fluctuations and explore different aspects of the QCD phase diagram. In particular, proton intermittency has been used to locate the critical point of strongly interacting matter, and, more recently, intermittency of negatively charged hadrons have also been used to study the properties of QCD interactions.
