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