Description
The fluctuations of conserved charges – such as electric charge, strangeness, and baryon number – in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions provide insight into the properties of the quark-gluon plasma and the QCD phase diagram. They can be related to the higher moments of the multiplic-
ity distributions of identified particles such as pions, kaons, protons, and lambda baryons. In this talk, we will show the latest results from the ALICE Collaboration on the higher moments of identified particles measured in Pb–Pb collisions, differentially with respect to collision energy, centrality, and the pseudorapidity acceptance of the measurement. These results will be compared to models to gain insight into the origin of dynamical fluctuations in heavy-ion collisions.
