So far no convincing experimental evidence for the nuclear matter gas-liquid critical point
Signatures of the critical end point?
Critical point: fluctuations ofthe order parameter are soft
Ejiri et al.
Look for rise and fall of fluctuations! (E-by-E)(Stephanov, Rajagopal, Shuryak)
E-by-E fluctuations of:•transverse momentum (SRS)•pion multiplicity (SRS)•proton number (Hatta, Stephanov) . . . . .
Take care of finite time and finite size effects (Berdnikov, Rajagopal)
Exciting prospects, but still many unknowns!
Quark number susceptibility

Summary
•Critical endpoint: fluctuations
•Light-heavy mesons: mass splitting
•Chiral partners become degenerate•New D mesons
•Data at different energies/different B/Tuseful for unraveling meson/baryon resonances, meson mixing etc.
•pA, A, A etc. provide complementary information
