The QCD phase diagram and Beam Energy Scan physics: a theory overview
read the original abstract
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 is on the description of the dynamics of systems created in heavy-ion collisions and establishing the necessary connection between the experimental observables and the QCD phase diagram.

QCD critical surface from constant entropy contours
First mapping of the QCD critical surface in full (T, μ_B, μ_Q, μ_S) space via constant-entropy expansion gives a critical point at (114, 602) MeV in the pure baryon direction, with μ_B,c shifting 40-100 MeV in strang...

Superfluids in expanding backgrounds and attractor times
Out-of-equilibrium superfluids in Bjorken, Gubser and FLRW flows reach hydrodynamic attractors after an initial-condition-dependent attractor time, with a novel nonlinear constant-anisotropy regime in Gubser evolution.

Partial Pressure Contributions of Hadron Families to the QCD Equation of State
Linear combinations of susceptibilities isolate partial pressures of hadron families classified by B, Q, and S in the low-T QCD regime under the HRG assumption, validated against lattice data.

Sequential Bayesian inference with correlated heavy-ion datasets
Factorized sequential Bayesian updates on correlated pseudo-data produce systematic deviations from the joint posterior that increase with correlation strength, while exact conditional-likelihood updates match the joi...

Studying the QCD Matter produced in Heavy-Ion Collisions using the MUSES Calculation Engine
The MUSES Calliope engine computes multi-dimensional QCD equations of state, merges them consistently, and feeds them into viscous hydrodynamic simulations of heavy-ion collisions with movable critical points and crit...
