Description

We exposit an interpretation of the kurtosis and the skewness of the proton number fluctuation based on a thermal model. We demonstrate that the kurtosis decreases to show a significant deviation from the unity due to quantum statistics when the baryon density grows up. Such a simple estimate of the fluctuations in a thermal gas picture fits in with the experimental data of the beam-energy scan at RHIC/STAR. We also discuss effects from the nuclear matter region where the density dependent in-medium mass would further decrease the fluctuations.
