Event-by-event fluctuations and the QGP [PDF]

, 2001
We discuss the physics underlying event-by-event fluctuations in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We will emphasize how the fluctuations of particle ratios can be utilized to explore the properties of the matter created in these collisions.

Attention to the strengths of physical interactions: Transformer and graph-based event classification for particle physics experiments

SciPost Physics
A major task in particle physics is the measurement of rare signal processes. Even modest improvements in background rejection, at a fixed signal efficiency, can significantly enhance the measurement sensitivity. Building on prior research by others that

Recent results from the search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter at the CERN SPS

, 2014
Recent searches at the CERN SPS for evidence of the critical point of strongly interacting matter are discussed. Experimental results on theoretically expected signatures, such as event-to-event fluctuations of the particle multiplicity and the average ...
