We present results for the ratios of mean ($M_B$), variance ($sigma_B^2$), skewness ($S_B)$ and kurtosis ($kappa_B$) of net baryon-number fluctuations obtained in lattice QCD calculations with a physical light to strange quark mass ratio. Using next-to-leading order Taylor expansions in baryon chemical potential we find that qualitative features of these ratios closely resemble the corresponding experimentally measured cumulants ratios of net proton-number fluctuations for beam energies down to $sqrt{s_{_{NN}}} ge 19.6$ GeV. We show that the difference in cumulant ratios for the mean net baryon-number, $M_B/sigma_B^2=chi_1^B(T,mu_B)/chi_2^B(T,mu_B)$ and the normalized skewness, $S_Bsigma_B=chi_3^B(T,mu_B)/chi_2^B(T,mu_B)$, naturally arises in QCD thermodynamics. Moreover, we establish a close relation between skewness and kurtosis ratios, $S_Bsigma_B^3/M_B=chi_3^B(T,mu_B)/chi_1^B(T,mu_B)$ and $kappa_Bsigma_B^2=chi_4^B(T,mu_B)/chi_2^B(T,mu_B)$, valid at small values of the baryon chemical potential.

We present new results on up to $6^{th}$ order cumulants of net baryon-number fluctuations at small values of the baryon chemical potential, $mu_B$, obtained in lattice QCD calculations with physical values of light and strange quark masses. Represen
tation of the Taylor expansions of higher order cumulants in terms of the ratio of the two lowest order cumulants, $M_B/sigma_B^2=chi_1^B(T,mu_B)/chi_2^B(T,mu_B)$, allows for a parameter free comparison with data on net proton-number cumulants obtained by the STAR Collaboration in the Beam Energy Scan at RHIC. We show that recent high statistics data on skewness and kurtosis ratios of net proton-number distributions, obtained at beam energy $sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=54.4$ GeV, agree well with lattice QCD results on cumulants of net baryon-number fluctuations close to the pseudo-critical temperature, $T_{pc}(mu_B)$, for the chiral transition in QCD. We also present first results from a next-to-leading order expansion of $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ order cumulants on the line of pseudo-critical temperatures.
The appearance of large, none-Gaussian cumulants of the baryon number distribution is commonly discussed as a signal for the QCD critical point. We review the status of the Taylor expansion of cumulant ratios of baryon number fluctuations along the f
reeze-out line and also compare QCD results with the corresponding proton number fluctuations as measured by the STAR Collaboration at RHIC. To further constrain the location of a possible QCD critical point we discuss poles of the baryon number fluctuations in the complex plane. Here we use not only the Taylor coefficients obtained at zero chemical potential but perform also calculations of Taylor expansion coefficients of the pressure at purely imaginary chemical potentials.
We study the variance and kurtosis of the net-baryon number in a fluid dynamical model for heavy-ion collisions. It is based on an effective chiral model with dilatons for the strong coupling regime of QCD. Taking into account spinodal instabilities,
we demonstrate that this model exhibits a diverging quark number susceptibility and kurtosis all along the spinodal lines of the first-order phase transition, with a change of universality class at the critical end point. During the (3+1) dimensional expansion of a hot and dense fireball, instabilities are created by fluctuations in the explicitly propagated chiral and dilaton field. We find a clear enhancement of event-by-event fluctuations of the baryon number at the critical point and first-order phase transition in comparison with an evolution through the crossover region.
We study the density of states method as well as reweighting to explore the low temperature phase diagram of QCD at finite baryon chemical potential. We use four flavors of staggered quarks, a tree-level Symanzik improved gauge action and four stout
smearing steps on lattices with $N_s=4,6,8$ and $N_t=6 - 16$. We compare our results to that of the phase quenched ensemble and also determine the pion and nucleon masses. In the density of states approach we applied pion condensate or gauge action density fixing. We found that the density of states method performs similarly to reweighting. At $T approx 100$ MeV, we found an indication of the onset of the quark number density at around $mu/m_N sim 0.16 - 0.18$ on $6^4$ lattices at $beta=2.9$.
We explore the potential of net-baryon, net-proton and net-charge kurtosis measurements to investigate the properties of hot and dense matter created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Contrary to calculations in a grand canonical ensemble we expl
icitly take into account exact electric and baryon charge conservation on an event-by-event basis. This drastically limits the width of baryon fluctuations. A simple model to account for this is to assume a grand-canonical distribution with a sharp cut-off at the tails. We present baseline predictions of the energy dependence of the net-baryon, net-proton and net-charge kurtosis for central ($bleq 2.75$ fm) Pb+Pb/Au+Au collisions from $E_{lab}=2A$ GeV to $sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV from the UrQMD model. While the net-charge kurtosis is compatible with values around zero, the net-baryon number decreases to large negative values with decreasing beam energy. The net-proton kurtosis becomes only slightly negative for low $sqrt{s_{NN}}$.
