We consider the effect of volume fluctuations on cumulants of the net baryon number. Based on a general formalism, we derive universal expressions for the net baryon number cumulants in the presence of volume fluctuations with an arbitrary probability distribution. The relevance of these fluctuations for the baryon-number cumulants and in particular for the ratios of cumulants is assessed in the Polyakov loop extended quark-meson model within the functional renormalization group. We show that the baryon number cumulants are generally enhanced by volume fluctuations and that the critical behavior of higher order cumulants may be modified significantly.

    In a Poisson-plus-Gamma model, CBWC overcorrects and underestimates proton and net-proton cumulants whenever resonance-type correlations between multiplicity and proton number are sufficiently strong.

    Local baryon conservation in a canonical ensemble drives net-proton κ6/κ2 to small or negative values in restricted acceptance, establishing a baseline that must be subtracted before interpreting signals of chiral cri...

    A synthesis of the QCD critical point search: theoretical estimates cluster at T_C≈100–120 MeV, μ_B≈550–650 MeV, and BES-II cumulant data match non-critical baselines above 10 GeV while 7.7–9 GeV deviations remain une...

    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.
