In this review, we systematically examine the principles and the practices of fluctuations such as the momentum and the charge fluctuations as applied to the heavy ion collisions. Main emphases are: (i) Fluctuations as signals of phase transition (ii) Relationship between correlation functions and fluctuations (iii) Qualitative difference between fluctuations in small systems and large systems. Whenever available, theoretical results are compared with data from RHIC and SPS.

  1. Non-Monotonicity of Transverse Momentum Correlations in Au + Au Collisions at RHIC

    nucl-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    First measurements of pT correlations in Au+Au collisions at 3-7.7 GeV reveal non-monotonic energy dependence in central events with 5 sigma significance, breaking 1/sqrt(N_part) scaling.

  2. Non-monotonicity of $p_T$ correlations from meson-baryon mixing

    nucl-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A simplified model reproduces the observed non-monotonic pT correlation minimum via meson-baryon mixing, showing it is not a reliable signal for the QCD critical point.
