Abstract: (Elsevier)
We discuss the next-to-leading order Taylor expansion of ratios of cumulants of net-baryon number fluctuations. We focus on the relation between the skewness ratio, SBσB≡χ3B/χ1B , and the kurtosis ratio, κBσB2≡χ4B/χ2B . We show that differences in these two cumulant ratios are small for small values of the baryon chemical potential. The next-to-leading order correction to κBσB2 however is approximately three times larger than that for SBσB . The former thus drops much more rapidly with increasing beam energy, sNN . We argue that these generic patterns are consistent with current data on cumulants of net-proton number fluctuations measured by the STAR Collaboration at sNN≥19.6 GeV .Note:
