Dynamical fluctuations in $K/\pi$ at lower beam energy were reported to increase with decreasing $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ \cite{2} while they remained constant at higher $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$. STAR results for the study of $K/\pi$ fluctuations have been reported earlier for Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 7.7, 11.5, 39, 62.4, 130 and 200 GeV\cite{3,4}.The results have been found to be independent of beam energy. In this poster, we report new results on event-by-event fluctuations in $K/\pi$ at midrapidity from 19.6 and 27 GeV Au+Au collisions. The use of Time Projection Chamber(TPC) and Time of Flight(TOF) detector allows particle identification up to $p_{T}$ $\sim${\it{1.6 GeV/c}}. The advantage of this large particle identification reach in momentum and using a collider facility for $K/\pi$ fluctuation studies will be discussed. The results will be compared with the prediction of a transport model(UrQMD) and statistical hadronization model \cite{5}. %The status of this analysis and some preliminary results for RHIC BES program will also be presented in the context of energy dependence of $\gc$ correlation.J.I Kapusta and Mekjien, Phys.\ Rev.
