The Beam Energy Scan Theory (BEST) Collaboration was formed with the goal of providing a theoretical framework for analyzing data from the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program at the relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The physics goal of the BES program is the search for a conjectured QCD critical point as well as for manifestations of the chiral magnetic effect. We describe progress that has been made over the previous five years. This includes studies of the equation of state and equilibrium susceptibilities, the development of suitable initial state models, progress in constructing a hydrodynamic framework that includes fluctuations and anomalous transport effects, as well as the development of freezeout prescriptions and hadronic transport models. Finally, we address the challenge of integrating these components into a complete analysis framework. This document describes the collective effort of the BEST Collaboration and its collaborators around the world.

  1. Collective phenomena in chirally imbalanced medium

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Chirally imbalanced quark-gluon plasma splits transverse gluon modes into circular polarizations, adds instabilities, and makes quarkonium melt faster via a larger Debye mass and decay width.

  2. Efficient calculation of thermodynamic properties of baryon-rich QCD matter from heavy-ion transport models

    physics.comp-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A modular framework speeds up energy-momentum tensor calculations from transport models by clustering particles into representative super-particles while keeping averaged physics accurate.

  3. Effect of chiral imbalance on the electrical conductivity of hot and dense quark matter using Green-Kubo Method within the 2-flavour gauged NJL model

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Electrical conductivity to temperature ratio in quark matter decreases with increasing chiral chemical potential in the NJL model, most strongly at low temperature.
