  Measurement of higher order cumulants of the distributions of conserved
quantities, like net-charge, net-baryon and net-strangeness in heavy-ion
collisions, is proposed as a sensitive tool to determine the freeze-out
parameters and the nature of phase transitions at the LHC energies. Baseline
measurements for heavy-ion collisions are essential to understand the
experimental measurements. Recently, several experimental observations have
shown some QGP-like scenarios in small systems (pp collisions). We report the
first Monte-Carlo study of the measurements of cumulants and their ratios for
net-charge, net-hadron, net-kaon, net-baryon, and net-proton distributions in
pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=13 TeV using pQCD models like Pythia8 and Herwig.
We also discuss the effect of different particle production mechanisms on the
higher-order cumulants. This simulation study will serve as a baseline for
future measurements at the LHC. Furthermore, it will shed more light on the
measurement of cumulants and the connection between small systems and heavy-ion
collisions at the LHC.
