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” …

The nuclear equation of state (EOS) is at the center of numerous theoretical and
experimental efforts in nuclear physics. With advances in microscopic theories for nuclear …

The renormalization group plays an essential role in many areas of physics, both
conceptually and as a practical tool to determine the long-distance low-energy properties of …

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 …

Ultrarelativistic collisions of heavy atomic nuclei produce an extremely hot and dense phase
of matter, known as quark–gluon plasma (QGP), which behaves like a near-perfect fluid with …

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 …

We review key measurements performed by CMS in the context of its heavy ion physics
program, using event samples collected in 2010–2018 with several collision systems 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 …

We discuss the phase structure of QCD for N f= 2 and N f= 2+ 1 dynamical quark flavors at
finite temperature and baryon chemical potential. It emerges dynamically from the …

This review aims at providing an extensive discussion of modern constraints relevant for
dense and hot strongly interacting matter. It includes theoretical first-principle results from …
