Chiral Transition and Baryon-number Susceptibility
Abstract
Description
We discuss the baryon-number susceptibility $χ_B$ and related topics which include the density fluctuations around the critical point of the chiral transition at finite temperature $T$ and baryon density $ρ_B$. Phenomenological implications of the density fluctuations near the first-order chiral transition at finite density are also discussed.
