Description
Experimental measurements of multiplicity fluctuations are used to extract information about the properties of the quark-gluon plasma and transition to the hadron gas phase in heavy-ion collisions. In particular, the event-by-event fluctuations of conserved quantities within a fixed rapidity range can be related to thermodynamic properties of the medium, allowing for direct comparison to lattice QCD predictions, and used to explore the phase diagram of nuclear matter. In this talk, the latest experimental results on multiplicity and net particle fluctuations from RHIC and the LHC will be presented and placed into context with recent theoretical developments, and future prospects will also be discussed.
