Abstract
We show the importance of separated efficiency corrections between positively and negatively charged particles for cumulant calculations by toy models and analytical calculations. Our results indicate that in published net-proton results from the STAR experiment will be suppressed about 10% in central collisions and 20% in peripheral collisions at the beam energy of if the separated efficiencies are used to perform the efficiency correction, while no sizable efffect can be seen for .
