ABSTRACT

We present a subset of experimental results on charge fluctuation from the heavy-ion collisions to search for phase transition and location of critical point in the QCD phase diagram. Measurements from the heavy-ion experiments at the SPS and RHIC energies observe that total charge fluctuations increase from central to peripheral collisions. The net-charge fluctuations in terms of dynamical fluctuation measure V(+−,dyn) are studied as a function of collision energy (√𝑠𝑁𝑁) and centrality of the collisions. The product of V(+−,dyn) andβŸ¨π‘ch⟩ shows a monotonic decrease with collision energies, which indicates that at LHC energy the fluctuation shave their origin in the QGP phase. The fluctuations interms of higher moments of net-proton, net-electric charge, and net-kaon have been measured for various √𝑠𝑁𝑁. Deviations are observed in both π‘†πœŽ and πœ…πœŽ2 for net-proton multiplicity distributions from the Skellam and hadron resonance gas model for √𝑠𝑁𝑁
