Abstract
The freeze-out curve in the QCD phase diagram embodies a substantial amount of precise experimental data in heavy ion collisions. We present our lattice QCD results along the freeze-out curve. The variance, skew and kurtosis of the event distribution of baryon number are studied at several energies of interest through Pade resummations. A smooth behaviour is predicted for three ratios of these quantities at current RHIC and future LHC energies. Any deviations from these at the RHIC energy scan would signal the presence of a nearby critical point. Our lattice results on the critical point do show such a behaviour.
