Higher moments of conserved quantities, such as net-charge, net-baryon number and net-strangeness, are proposed to be sensitive probes for locating the critical point. The moments of net-charge distributions have been studied as a function of centrality for {Au+Au} collisions at $\\sqrt{s_{\\rm NN}}$ = 7.7 to 200 GeV using three event generators, {\\it viz.}, UrQMD, HIJING, and THERMINATOR-2.
