QCD phase diagram with a critical point from holographic black holes

We use the gauge/gravity duality to map thermodynamic fluctuations of black holes onto fluctuations of baryon charge in a hot and baryon dense Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). Our approach gives results that are in quantitative agreement with state-of-the-art lattice simulations for the QCD equation of state at finite baryon density and fluctuations of baryon charge, while simultaneously encompassing nearly-perfect fluidity. This framework provides a definite prediction for the QCD critical point, which is found to be within the reach of low collision energy experiments at RHIC and also the CBM experiment at FAIR.
