Abstract

In this Chapter we discuss the comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental measurements for several observables. In particular, we focus on fluctuations of conserved charges and how to perform a meaningful comparison between lattice QCD simulations and experimental results. We review several sources of non-thermal fluctuations and explain how to take them into account in the data or the theoretical results. We then discuss the details of the experimental analysis for fluctuations of net-protons, net-charge, net-kaons and net-Lambdas.
