JAM model simulations with the new CIGAR framework compute proton cumulants at √sNN = 3.2-4.5 GeV as a non-critical baseline for QCD critical point searches.
fRG calculations show the jet quenching parameter hat q is enhanced above the chiral boundary and peaks near the QCD critical end point due to critical sigma fluctuations.
Including mesonic fluctuations beyond mean field in the quark-meson-diquark model substantially modifies the phase structure, with diquark condensation dominating at strong couplings as revealed by pole masses and the Silver-Blaze property.
In the two-flavor linear sigma model with quarks, the chiral phase transition at T=0 is first order and occurs at a quark chemical potential equal to the vacuum quark mass.
A holographic QCD model with dilaton-dependent Gauss-Bonnet corrections matches lattice thermodynamics and yields non-monotonic η/s plus a critical endpoint.
Recent net-proton cumulant ratios from RHIC BES-II data are compared to non-critical models from Lattice QCD, HRG, hydrodynamics and UrQMD, with volume fluctuation effects noted at fixed-target energies.
