Description
We present results on Taylor series expansions for up to fourth order cumulants
of conserved charge fluctuations, construct expansions for ratios of these
cumulants and discuss their application to the analysis of freeze-out conditions
in heavy ion experiments. Our results are based on lattice QCD calculations
performed with the HISQ action and quark masses tuned to their physical values.
