The exploration of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram has been one of the main drivers of contemporary nuclear physics. Heavy-ion collisions provide a powerful tool to explore phase structures of strongly interacting hot and dense nuclear matter called Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP). The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is uniquely suited to map the QCD phase diagram by varying the energy of collisions, as well as nuclei species. These proceedings discuss the most recent results from the STAR experiment at RHIC and future plans.

STAR 重离子结果

量子色动力学 (QCD) 相图的探索一直是当代核物理学的主要驱动力之一。重离子碰撞提供了一个强大的工具来探索称为夸克-胶子等离子体 (QGP) 的强相互作用的热和致密核物质的相结构。相对论重离子对撞机 (RHIC) 特别适合通过改变碰撞能量以及原子核种类来绘制 QCD 相图。这些程序讨论了 RHIC STAR 实验的最新结果和未来计划。
