Research explores the critical point of QCD, revealing no existence below specific baryon chemical potentials, indicating significant findings.
A recent proposal (Ref. [1]) suggested searching for the QCD critical point by studying contours of constant entropy density on the phase diagram. In our recent work Ref. [2], we refine and extend this method. Our results exclude, at the 2σ confidence level, the existence of a critical point at baryon chemical potentials below μB ≈ 450 MeV along the transition line.
