Description
We calculate fluctuations and correlations of conserved charges
in finite temperature QCD up to sixth order. These are interesting
for their sensitivity to criticality, for probing the relevant
degrees of freedom in the QCD medium, for providing stringent
tests on the hadron resonance gas model at low and resummed
perturbation theory at high temperatures, and for being accessible
to heavy ion collider experiments. They can also be used for
the extrapolation of physical quantities to small finite chemical
potentials. Our simulations use staggered quarks with physical
quark masses. All of our results are extrapolated to the continuum limit.
