The understanding of the QCD phase structure at finite baryon densities and the nature of the phase transition from the hadronic to the Quark-Gluon Plasma phase dominated by partonic degrees of freedom depends crucially on experimental measurements. The ongoing second phase of the Beam Energy Scan program at RHIC (BES-II) focuses on exploring the high baryon density region of the QCD phase...
I will review the results obtained within the BEST collaboration and the progress towards mapping out the QCD phase diagram. While the main focus of the talk will be lattice QCD, I will also discuss the other collaboration activities and main results.
It has been proposed that the azimuthal distributions of heavy flavor quark-antiquark pairs may be modified in the medium of a heavy-ion collision. This assumption was tested through next-to-leading order (NLO) calculations of the azimuthal distribution, $d\sigma/d\phi$, including transverse momentum broadening, employing $\langle k_T^2 \rangle$ and fragmentation in exclusive $Q \overline Q$...
Nuclear deformation is a ubiqutous phenomenon for most atomic nuclei, reflecting collective motion induced by interaction between valance nucleons and shell structure. Collisions of deformed nucleus lead to large shape and size fluctuations in the initial state geometry, which after collective expansion, lead to a non-trivial correlation between harmonic flow $v_{n}$ and event-by-event mean...
