The existence and location of the QCD critical point is an object of both experimental and theoretical studies. The comprehensive data collected by the NA61/SHINE during a two-dimensional scan in beam momentum (13A-150A GeV/c) and system size (p+p, p+Pb, Be+Be, Ar+Sc, Xe+La, Pb+Pb) allows for a systematic search for the critical point -- a search for a non-monotonic dependence of various correlation and fluctuation observables on collision energy and size of colliding nuclei. In particular, fluctuations of particle number in transverse momentum space are studied. They are quantified by measuring the scaling behavior of factorial moments of multiplicity distributions. This contribution reviews ongoing NA61/SHINE studies to search for the critical point of the strongly interacting matter.

  1. Excited cluster states: A new source for proton number fluctuations in the high baryon density regime

    nucl-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Excited cluster decays raise predicted proton cumulant ratios in a hadron resonance gas at collision energies of 2 to 5 GeV per nucleon pair, with the largest effect on high-order ratios at low energies.

  2. A Fourier analysis approach to disprove the weak Shanks conjecture

    math.CV 2025-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    The abstract promises new Fourier coefficient formulas and counterexamples to the weak Shanks conjecture, but the submitted body is a different paper (a heavy-ion experiment report), so the result is not actually pres...
