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 …

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

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 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 …

Nonmonotonic variation with collision energy (s NN) of the moments of the net-baryon
number distribution in heavy-ion collisions, related to the correlation length and the …

The microscopic description of heavy-ion reactions at low beam energies is achieved within
hadronic transport approaches. In this article a new approach called “Simulating Many …

We review the progress achieved in extracting the properties of hot and dense matter from
relativistic heavy ion collisions at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven …

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 …

Finite-density lattice QCD aims for the first-principle study of QCD at finite density, which
describes the system consisting of many quarks. The main targets are systems such as …

We review results from lattice QCD calculations on the thermodynamics of strong-interaction
matter with emphasis on input these calculations can provide to the exploration of the phase …
