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 …

With the aim of understanding the phase structure of nuclear matter created in high-energy
nuclear collisions at finite baryon density, a beam energy scan program has been carried …

Using the constraints from astrophysical observations and heavy-ion experiments, we
investigate the equation of state (EOS) of hybrid star matter and the properties of quark …

We advocate for an active US participation in the international collaboration of the CBM
experiment that will allow the US nuclear physics program to build on its successful …

Symmetry energy is an important part of the equation of state of isospin asymmetry matter.
However, the huge uncertainties of symmetry energy remain at suprasaturation densities …

With the isovector coupling constants adjusted to reproduce the physical pion mass and
lattice QCD results in baryon-free quark matter, we have carried out rigourous calculations …

We celebrate the legacies of our friend and mentor Professor Lianshou Liu who was one of
the pioneers for the phenomenology of multi-particle interactions and initiated the physics of …

We have studied the mechanical and chemical instabilities as well as the liquid-gas-like
phase transition in isospin asymmetric quark matter based on the NJL and the pNJL model …

We study the properties of strange quark stars by employing a 3-flavor Nambu-Jona-Lasinio
model with both scalar-isovector and vector-isovector interactions. Using the constraint on …

We investigate the thermal effects on the baryon–quark phase transition (PT), utilizing the
Maxwell construction (MC) in an isentropic analysis. In order to model the structure and …
