Results contribute to understanding QCD phase diagram
Abstract
The second phase of the RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES-II) was conducted between 2019 and 2021. High statistics data was collected by the STAR experiment for Au+Au collisions at from 7.7 to 27 GeV in collider mode and from 3 to 13.7 GeV in fixed target mode. A selection of results from the various BES-II analyses are presented here to showcase the wide range of physics accessible.
