The ALICE experiment was proposed in 1993, to study strongly-interacting matter at extreme
energy densities and temperatures. This proposal entailed a comprehensive investigation of …

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” …

We review the present status of the search for a phase transition and critical point as well as
anomalous transport phenomena in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), with an emphasis …

We report a systematic measurement of cumulants, C n, for net-proton, proton, and
antiproton multiplicity distributions, and correlation functions, κ n, for proton and antiproton …

We review results for the phase diagram of QCD, the properties of quarks and gluons and
the resulting properties of strongly interacting matter at finite temperature and chemical …

We calculated the QCD equation of state using Taylor expansions that include contributions
from up to sixth order in the baryon, strangeness and electric charge chemical potentials …

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 …

Fluctuations of conserved quantities, such as baryon, electric charge, and strangeness
number, are sensitive observables in relativistic heavy-ion collisions to probe the QCD …

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 …

The European Particle Physics Strategy Update (EPPSU) process takes a bottom-up
approach, whereby the community is first invited to submit proposals (also called inputs) for …
