We review theoretical approaches to explore the phase diagram of nuclear and quark matter
at high baryon density. We first look over the basic properties of quantum chromodynamics …

The theory of the strong interaction, quantum chromodynamics (QCD), describes the
generation of hadronic masses and the state of hadronic matter during the early stages of …

The current status of theoretical studies on the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase
diagram at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential is reviewed with special …

Recent advances in our understanding of the phase structure and the phase transitions of
hadronic matter in strong magnetic fields B and zero quark chemical potentials μ f are …

Fluctuations of conserved charges are sensitive to the QCD phase transition and a possible
critical end point in the phase diagram at finite density. In this work, we compute the baryon …

We calculate the first four moments of baryon number, electric charge and strangeness
fluctuations within the hadron resonance gas model. Different moments and their ratios as …

The Polyakov-extended quark–meson model (PQM) is investigated beyond mean-field. This
represents an important step towards a fully dynamical QCD computation. Both the quantum …

A bstract We calculate the three-loop thermodynamic potential of QCD at finite temperature
and chemical potential (s) using the hard-thermal-loop perturbation theory (HTLpt) …

Bulk fluctuations of conserved charges measured by event-by-event analysis in relativistic
heavy ion collisions are observables which are believed to carry significant amount of …

One of the distinctive features of the QCD phase diagram is the possible emergence of a
critical endpoint. The critical region around the critical point and the path dependency of the …
