With the completion of the STAR Beam Energy Scan (BES) phase I program and the completion of the Heavy Flavor Tracker and Muon Telescope Detector upgrades, STAR has reached a new milestone in its scientific endeavor to study QCD phase diagram and properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma with heavy ion collisions. I will give an overview of the STAR plan for the coming a few years to explore QCD...

The PHENIX collaboration at BNL-RHIC has been developing detector upgrade plans for an enhanced physics program utilizing the improved luminosity of RHIC to explore the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma in the strong coupling regime in a way to complement the heavy ion programs at the LHC.
The next stage, referred to as sPHENIX, provides focused physics programs through a series of...

The goal of the ALICE experiment at CERN-LHC is to study the structure of QCD phase diagram at extremely high temperature and very small baryon chemical potential. In particular, ALICE focuses on the properties of the hot and dense matter possibly created in ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions. The strength of the ALICE experiment is excellent tracking down to low $p_{\rm T} (\sim$ 150...
