Understanding the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) by measuring fluctuations of conserved charges in heavy-ion collisions is one of the main goals of various different experimental programs.
Within this work, we calculate the role of hadronic interactions and momentum cuts on cumulants of conserved charges up to fourth order in a system in equilibrium within a hadronic transport approach (SMASH).
We analyse the results of the full SMASH hadron gas and extract proton and baryon number cumulants. We find modifications of the scaled variance at large baryon chemical potential and good agreement between experimental results and this work.
