Abstract: (APS)

The beam energy dependence of net baryon number susceptibilities is studied in the framework of the hadron resonance gas model with the attractive and repulsive van der Waals interactions between baryons. The collision energy dependences for the skewness Sσ and kurtosis κσ2 deviate significantly from the Poisson baseline and demonstrate the existence of rich structures at moderate collision energies. This behavior may result from the critical end point of the nuclear liquid-gas first-order phase transition. In particular, κσ2 shows a nonmonotonic energy dependence, and, in contrast to the standard scenario for the QCD critical point, it does not decrease at low collision energies. It is also found that the measurable net proton fluctuations differ significantly from the net baryon fluctuations when interactions between baryons cannot be neglected. The results are compared with the experimental net proton number fluctuations measured by the STAR collaboration.
