The renormalization group plays an essential role in many areas of physics, both
conceptually and as a practical tool to determine the long-distance low-energy properties of …

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 provide the most accurate results for the QCD transition line so far. We optimize the
definition of the crossover temperature T c, allowing for its very precise determination, and …

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 …

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 recent years there has been much progress on the investigation of the QCD phase
diagram with lattice QCD simulations. In this review we focus on the developments in the last …

In the last few years, numerical simulations of Quantum chromodynamics on the lattice have
reached a new level of accuracy. A wide range of thermodynamic quantities is now available …

In this paper, we present an overview on recent progress in studies of QCD at finite
temperature and densities within the functional renormalization group (fRG) approach. The …

We present the crossover line between the quark gluon plasma and the hadron gas phases
for small real chemical potentials. First we determine the effect of imaginary values of the …
