Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

Phase transitions in a non-perturbative regime can be studied by ab initio Lattice Field
Theory methods. The status and future research directions for LFT investigations of Quantum …

We provide the most accurate results for the QCD transition line so far. We optimize the
definition of the crossover temperature T c, allowing for its very precise determination, and …

Abstract This White Paper presents an overview of the current status and future perspective
of QCD research, based on the community inputs and scientific conclusions from the 2022 …

Abstract The Beam Energy Scan Theory (BEST) Collaboration was formed with the goal of
providing a theoretical framework for analyzing data from the Beam Energy Scan (BES) …

We report cumulants of the proton multiplicity distribution from dedicated fixed-target Au+ Au
collisions at s NN= 3.0 GeV, measured by the STAR experiment in the kinematic acceptance …

In recent years there has been much progress on the investigation of the QCD phase
diagram with lattice QCD simulations. In this review we focus on the developments in the last …

In this Letter, we introduce a novel scheme for extrapolating the equation of state of QCD to
finite chemical potential that features considerably improved convergence properties and …

We review recent theoretical developments relevant to heavy-ion experiments carried out
within the Beam Energy Scan program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Our main focus …

The beam energy scan (BES) program at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)
was extended to energies below s NN= 7.7 GeV in 2015 by successful implementation of the …
