Extremely strong magnetic field and QCD phase diagram
Gaoqing CAO
Several experiments are being conducted at heavy-ion colliders around the world to determine the location of the proposed critical end point of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in the T-μB phase diagram. As the presence of a very strong magnetic field is relevant to peripheral heavy-ion collisions, magnetars, and the early

QCD critical end point and baryon number fluctuation
Kun XU, and Mei HUANG
One of the main goals of relativistic heavy-ion collision (HIC) is to search for the critical end point (CEP) of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), and distribution of the net-proton number from experimental measurements shows non-monotonic behavior, which indicates the existence of a CEP. The purpose of this work is to inv

Several problems in determining the QCD phase boundary by relativistic heavy ion collisions
Yuanfang WU, Xiaobing LI, Lizhu CHEN, Zhiming LI, Mingmei XU, Xue PAN, Fan ZHANG, Yanhua ZHANG, and Yuming ZHONG
The goal of relativistic heavy-ion collisions is to determine the phase boundary of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase transitions. Critically sensitive observables are suggested to be higher-order cumulants of conserved charges. The non-monotonous behavior of higher cumulants was observed at the relativistic heavy-ion

QCD phase structure from holographic models
Zhourun ZHU, Yanqing ZHAO, and Defu HOU
We aim to study the effects of chemical potential and angular velocity on the critical endpoint of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). We used several probes (drag force, jet quenching parameter, heavy vector meson spectral function) to characterize the phase transition and studied gravitational waves from the holographic QC

Review of QCD phase diagram analysis using effective field theories
Yilun DU, Chengming LI, Chao SHI, Shusheng XU, Yan YAN, and Zheng ZHANG
The quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram is of great interest to researchers in the field of high energy nuclear physics. We review the present research status of several aspects of this topic. This review includes the search for the phase transition mechanism resulting in high-order baryon number fluctuations, h

Phase transitions of strong interaction matter in vorticity fields
Yin JIANG, and Jinfeng LIAO
Understanding the phase structures of strong interaction matter is an active frontier in nuclear physics research currently, and it will provide crucial insights into heavy-ion collision experiments as well as neutron star observations. Most studies in this area focus on the influence of extremely high temperatures and

Light nuclei production and QCD phase transition in heavy-ion collisions
Kaijia SUN, Liewen CHEN, Ko Che Ming, Feng LI, Jun XU, and Zhangbu XU
The searching for potential quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase transition signals is a fundamental goal of on-going experiments on heavy-ion collisions, which is critical to understanding the properties of strongly interacting matter under extreme conditions, the inner structure of compact stars, gravitational waves em

Transport model study of conserved charge fluctuations and QCD phase transition in heavy-ion collisions
Qian CHEN, Guoliang MA, and Jinhui CHEN
The RHIC-STAR (Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider-Solenoid Tracker at RHIC) experiments have measured the cumulants of net-proton (a proxy for net-baryon), net-charge, and net-kaon (proxy of net-strangeness) multiplicity distributions in Au+Au collisions at different centers of mass with energies ranging from 7.7 GeV to 2

Application of machine learning to the study of QCD transition in heavy ion collisions
Fupeng LI, Longgang PANG, and Xinnian WANG
In high-energy heavy ion collisions, quarks and gluons are released from the colliding nucleus to form a new state of nuclear matter called deconfined quark gluon plasma (QGP). To study the transition from normal nuclear matter or hadron resonance gas to QGP, non-perturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD) must be solved

QCD phase transitions using the QCD Dyson-Schwinger equation approach
Fei GAO, and Yuxin LIU
The use of the relativistic heavy ion collision experiment has extended our insights into the diverse possibilities available to a truly strongly-interacting system. The main goal of this experiment is to describe the properties of the different phases of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and to chart the QCD phase diagram
