【 摘 要 】

Results obtained from the search for the critical point of strongly interacting matter in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the CERN-SPS (experiments NA49 and NA61/SHINE) and the RHIC beam energy scan program (experiments STAR and PHENIX) are discussed. Although some intriguing signals were found, establishing firm evidence for the critical point remains a challenging enterprise.
