We present a concise review of the recent development of relativistic hydrodynamics and its
applications to heavy-ion collisions. Theoretical progress on the extended formulation of …

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 …

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) …

This work presents a three-dimensional dynamical initialization model for relativistic heavy-
ion collisions, implementing local energy-momentum conservation and baryon charge …

A hybrid (hydrodynamics+ hadronic transport) theoretical framework is assembled to model
the bulk dynamics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions at energies accessible in the beam …

We present a simple way to construct three-dimensional initial conditions for relativistic
heavy-ion collisions based on the Glauber collision geometry. Local energy and momentum …

The striking similarities that have been observed between high-multiplicity proton-proton
(pp) collisions and heavy-ion collisions can be explored through multiplicity-differential …

We review the recent status of the QCD sum rule approach to study the properties of
hadrons in vacuum and in hot or dense matter. Special focus is laid on the progress made in …

To study the bulk properties of quark-gluon plasma produced at beam-energy scan (BES)
energies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), we extend the (3+ 1)-dimensional …

The beam energy dependence of the directed flow is a sensitive probe for the properties of
strongly interacting matter. Hybrid models that simulate dense (core) and dilute (corona) …
