| Abstract: | Density fluctuations and correlations due to a first-order quark-gluon plasma to hadronic matter phase transition and its critical end point, if they remain present after the hadronic evolution in a heavy ion collisions, can lead to an enhanced production of light nuclei in these{\textlnot}{\textdagger}collisions. This would then result in{\textlnot}{\textdagger}a non-monotonic collision energy dependence of the yield ratio {\$}{\$}N{\_}{\backslash}text {\{}t{\}} N{\_}{\backslash}text {\{}p{\}} / N{\_}{\backslash}text {\{}d{\}}^2{\$}{\$}of proton number {\$}{\$}N{\_}{\backslash}text {\{}p{\}}{\$}{\$}, deuteron number {\$}{\$}N{\_}{\backslash}text {\{}d{\}}{\$}{\$}, and triton number {\$}{\$}N{\_}{\backslash}text {\{}t{\}}{\$}{\$}. Measurements of this yield ratio as a function of collision energy thus provides the possibility to{\textlnot}{\textdagger}probe the equation of state of strong-interaction matter and its phase diagram. |
