Baryon number fluctuations and the phase structure in the PNJL model

Abstract We investigate the kurtosis and skewness of net-baryon number fluctuations in the Polyakov loop extended Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (PNJL) model, and discuss the relations between fluctuation distributions and the phase structure of quark-gluon matter. The calculation shows that the traces of chira...
