Behavior of universal critical parameters in the QCD phase diagram

Understand

We determine the dependence of important parameters for critical fluctuations on temperature and baryon chemical potential in the QCD phase diagram.

• The analysis is based on an identification of the fluctuations of the order parameter obtained from the Ising model equation of state and the Ginzburg-Landau effective potential approach.
• The impact of the mapping from Ising model variables to QCD thermodynamics is discussed.
