Energy dependence of kaon-to-proton ratio fluctuations in central Pb+Pb collisions from [sqrt]sNN=6.3 to 17.3 GeV

Kaons and protons carry large parts of two conserved quantities: strangeness and baryon number. It is argued that their correlation and thus also fluctuations are sensitive to conditions prevailing at the anticipated parton-hadron phase boundary. Fluctuations of the (K++K-)/(p+p[overbar]) and K+/p r...
