In this letter we argue that the event-by-event fluctuations of the ratio of the positively charged and the negatively charged pions provides a signal of quark-gluon plasma. The fact that quarks carry fractional charges is ultimately responsible for this distinct signal.

  1. High-order fluctuations of temperature in hot QCD matter

    hep-ph 2025-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Introduces a new thermodynamic state function enabling computation of high-order temperature fluctuations in hot QCD matter from heavy-ion collision data, predicting strong suppression and negative skewness in the QGP phase.
