We study the influence of measured high cumulants of conserved charges on their associated statistical uncertainties in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. With a given number of events, the measured cumulants randomly fluctuate with an approximately normal distribution, while the estimated statistical uncertainties are found to be correlated with corresponding values of the obtained cumulants. Generally, with a given number of events, the larger the cumulants we measure, the larger the statistical uncertainties that are estimated. The error-weighted averaged cumulants are dependent on statistics. Despite this effect, however, it is found that the three sigma rule of thumb is still applicable when the statistics are above one million.

We initialize the Quantum Chromodynamic conserved charges of baryon number, strangeness, and electric charge arising from gluon splitting into quark-antiquark pairs for the initial conditions of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. A new Monte Carlo procedure that can sample from a generic energy density profile is presented, called Initial Conserved Charges in Nuclear Geometry (ICCING), based on quark and gluon multiplicities derived within the color glass condensate (CGC) effective theory. We find that while baryon number and electric charge have nearly identical geometries to the energy density profile, the initial strangeness distribution is considerable more eccentric and is produced primarily at the hot spots corresponding to temperatures of $Tgtrsim 400$ MeV for PbPb collisions at $sqrt{s_{NN}}=5.02$ TeV.
Using the sample produced by the AMPT default model, we construct a corresponding mixed sample by the method of mixed events. The mixed sample provides an effective estimation for non-critical fluctuations which are caused by global and systematic effects. The dynamical cumulants of conserved charges are defined as the cumulants of the original sample minus the cumulants of the mixed sample. It is demonstrated that dynamical cumulants are subtracted statistical fluctuations, and centrality bin width or detection efficiency independent, in consistent with formulae corrected cumulants. Therefore, dynamical cumulants are helpful in obtaining critical fluctuations at the RHIC BES.
Higher cumulants of conserved charges are sensitive observables of quantum chromodynamics phase transitions. The sample of mixed events provides a background to estimate non-critical effects of cumulants. Four possible methods for constructing the sample of mixed events are suggested. The effectiveness of each method is examined. It is showed that the method of most random or least constrain is the best, rather than the conventional method.
We simultaneously incorporate two common extensions of the hadron resonance gas model, namely the addition of extra, unconfirmed resonances to the particle list and the excluded volume repulsive interactions. We emphasize the complementary nature of these two extensions and identify combinations of conserved charge susceptibilities that allow to constrain them separately. In particular, ratios of second-order susceptibilities like $chi_{11}^{BQ}/chi_2^B$ and $chi_{11}^{BS}/chi_2^B$ are sensitive only to the baryon spectrum, while fourth-to-second order ratios like $chi_4^B/chi_2^B$, $chi_{31}^{BS}/chi_{11}^{BS}$, or $chi_{31}^{BQ}/chi_{11}^{BQ}$ are mainly determined by repulsive interactions. Analysis of the available lattice results suggests the presence of both the extra states in the baryon-strangeness sector and the repulsive baryonic interaction, with indications that hyperons have a smaller repulsive core than non-strange baryons. The modified hadron resonance gas model presented here significantly improves the description of lattice QCD susceptibilities at chemical freeze-out and can be used for the analysis of event-by-event fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions.
Bulk matter produced in heavy ion collisions has multiple conserved quantum numbers like baryon number, strangeness and electric charge. The diffusion process of these charges can be described by a diffusion matrix describing the interdependence of diffusion of different charges. The diffusion coefficient matrix is estimated here from the Boltzmann kinetic theory for the hadronic phase within relaxation time approximation. In the derivation for the same, we impose the Landau-Lifshitz conditions of fit. This leads to e.g. the diagonal diffusion coefficients to be manifestly positive definite. The explicit calculations are performed within the ambit of hadron resonance gas model with and without excluded volume corrections. It is seen that the off-diagonal components can be significant to affect the charge diffusion in a fluid with multiple conserved charges. The excluded volume correction effects is seen to be not significant in the estimation of the elements of the diffusion matrix.
