Finite-size behavior near critical point, in particular, finite-size scaling and fixed-point behavior of the final observables can be served as a quantitative identification of critical point and the nearby boundary of the QCD phase transition. The validity of the method at finite detector acceptances at RHIC is discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2013-11-19T08:06:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "25.75.Nq", "25.75.Gz", "12.38.Mh" ], "keywords": [ "critical point", "finite-size behavior", "qcd phase-transition", "qcd phase transition", "current relativistic heavy ion collisions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1088/1674-1137/38/10/104103" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 846397, "adsabs": "2010arXiv1002.4139L" } } }
