The nuclear equation of state (EOS) is at the center of numerous theoretical and
experimental efforts in nuclear physics. With advances in microscopic theories for nuclear …

Phase transitions in a non-perturbative regime can be studied by ab initio Lattice Field

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) …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The observation of gravitational waves from an asymmetric binary opens the possibility for
heavy neutron stars, but these pose challenges to models of the neutron star equation 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 …

Since the release of the 2015 Long Range Plan in Nuclear Physics, major events have
occurred that reshaped our understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and nuclear …

We present new results on the equation of state and transition line of hot and dense strongly
interacting QCD matter, obtained from a bottom-up Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton holographic …
