Fluctuations

Talk at the Hadron Ion Tea (HIT) Seminar Series at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory

Invited talk on the QCD phase diagram at finite baryon density from heavy-ion collisions and new expansions at XQCD 2026 in Busan, Korea.

We present a new framework for connecting proton fluctuation measurements in relativistic heavy-ion collisions to QCD baryon-number susceptibilities. The pipeline combines viscous …

Presentation on probing fractional quark charges and remnants of chiral criticality with fluctuations at the LHC.

Presentation on the QCD phase diagram with constant entropy contours and fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions at the Buenas Ideas workshop in Kyoto.

Presentation on proton cumulants at RHIC, the antiproton puzzle, factorial cumulants, and baryon susceptibilities at CPOD 2026.

Presentation on canonical statistical hadronization with local charge conservation for fluctuations and correlations at CPOD 2026.

We present a study of net-proton number fluctuations in central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = 7.7 - 200$ GeV using viscous hydrodynamic simulations. Proton and anti…

The D-measure of net-charge fluctuations quantifies the variance of net charge in strongly interacting matter. It was introduced over 20 years ago as a potential signal of quark-gl…

Presentation on proton cumulants at the Workshop on High Baryon Density Physics in High-Energy Nuclear Collisions at LBNL.
