Scientific paper

Dynamical fluctuations in global conserved quantities such as baryon number, strangeness, or charge may be enhanced near a QCD critical point. Charge dependent results from new measurements of dynamical $K/\pi$, $p/\pi$, and $K/p$ ratio fluctuations are presented. The STAR experiment has performed a comprehensive study of the energy dependence of these dynamical fluctuations in Au+Au collisions at the energies $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 7.7-200 GeV using the observable, $\nu_{\rm dyn}$. These results are compared to previous measurements and to theoretical predictions. Various proposed scaling scenarios that attempt to remove the intrinsic volume dependence of $\nu_{\rm dyn}$ and to simplify comparisons between experimental measurements are also considered. Constructing an intensive quantity allows for a direct connection to thermodynamic predictions.
