Abstract

We present lattice QCD results along the freezeout curve of heavy-ion collisions. The variance, skew and kurtosis of the event distribution of baryon number are studied through Padé resummations. We predict smooth behaviour of three ratios of these quantities at current RHIC and future LHC energies. Deviations from this at lower energies signal the presence of a nearby critical point.
