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 …

We review the equation of state of QCD matter at finite densities. We discuss the
construction of the equation of state with net baryon number, electric charge, and …

We present measurements of bulk properties of the matter produced in Au+ Au collisions at s
NN= 7.7, 11.5, 19.6, 27, and 39 GeV using identified hadrons (π±, K±, p, and p¯) from the …

Identified charged-particle spectra of π±, K±, p, and p¯ at midrapidity (| y|< 0. 1) measured by
the dE/dx method in the STAR (solenoidal tracker at the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider) …

Thermal-FIST 1 is a C++ package designed for convenient general-purpose physics
analysis within the family of hadron resonance gas (HRG) models. This mainly includes the …

We present STAR measurements of strange hadron (KS 0, Λ, Λ¯, Ξ−, Ξ¯+, Ω−, Ω¯+, and ϕ)
production at midrapidity (| y|< 0.5) in Au+ Au collisions at s NN= 7.7–39 GeV from the Beam …

Bayesian methods are used to constrain the density dependence of the QCD equation of
state (EOS) for dense nuclear matter using the data of mean transverse kinetic energy and …

Results on charged pion and kaon production in central Pb+ Pb collisions at 20 A and 30 A
GeV are presented and compared to data at lower and higher energies. Around 30 A GeV a …

We present a coupled Boltzmann and hydrodynamics approach to relativistic heavy ion
reactions. This hybrid approach is based on the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular …

We present the first measurements of identified hadron production, azimuthal anisotropy,
and pion interferometry from Au+ Au collisions below the nominal injection energy at the …
