Description
This talk examines the chiral phase transition in Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) at high temperatures, a key aspect of strongly interacting matter and a signature of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). We will explore chiral symmetry restoration in both the chiral limit and with massive quarks, and its implications for the QCD phase diagram. Key focus areas include the behavior of the Wilson line and chiral condensate susceptibilities as order parameters. We will discuss physical observables such as hadron masses, widths, and branching ratio modifications, which are measurable in heavy-ion collision experiments and essential for validating theoretical predictions. This presentation emphasizes bridging theoretical advancements in Lattice QCD with experimental efforts to enhance our understanding of matter under extreme conditions.
