Third moments of conserved charges in phase diagram of QCD

  • 1. Department of Physics, Osaka University, Toyonaka, Osaka 560-0043 (Japan)

Description

We point out that the third moments of conserved charges, the baryon and electric charge numbers, and energy, as well as their mixed moments, change their signs around the QCD phase boundary in the temperature and baryon chemical potential plane. These observables can be measured in relativistic heavy ion collisions. The measurements of their signs will give clear information on the phase structure of QCD and the state of the system in the early stage of relativistic heavy ion collisions.
