Moments of charge fluctuations, pseudo-critical temperatures and freeze-out in heavy ion collisions

Abstract

We discuss universal properties of higher order cumulants of net baryon number fluctuations and point out their relevance for the analysis of freeze-out and critical conditions in heavy ion collisions at LHC and RHIC.
