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 …

This review aims at providing an extensive discussion of modern constraints relevant for
dense and hot strongly interacting matter. It includes theoretical first-principle results from …

The future opportunities for high-density QCD studies with ion and proton beams at the LHC
are presented. Four major scientific goals are identified: the characterisation of the …

Thermal-FIST 1 is a C++ package designed for convenient general-purpose physics
analysis within the family of hadron resonance gas (HRG) models. This mainly includes the …

This article summarizes our present knowledge about nuclear matter at the highest energy
densities and its formation in relativistic heavy ion collisions. We review what is known about …

Like fluctuations, nondiagonal correlators of conserved charges provide a tool for the study
of chemical freeze-out in heavy ion collisions. They can be calculated in thermal equilibrium …

The first principle lattice QCD methods allow to calculate the thermodynamic observables at
finite temperature and imaginary chemical potential. These can be compared to the …

We compare the mean-over-variance ratio of the net-kaon distribution calculated within the
hadron resonance gas model to the latest experimental data from the Beam Energy Scan at …

Detailed knowledge of the hadronic spectrum is still an open question, which has
phenomenological consequences on the study of heavy-ion collisions. A previous lattice …

Current experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are probing finite baryon
densities where the shear viscosity to enthalpy ratio η T/w of the quark gluon plasma …
