Description
I will make an overview of the theoretical side of the beam-energy scan program
in the context of the QCD phase diagram. I will clarify what is established about
hot and dense matter of QCD (especially about the chemical-freezeout curve)
and what still awaits further investigations including the modern lattice-QCD
simulations. I also briefly mention on the initial dynamics of the heavy-ion
collision and the theoretical foundation and some ongoing experimental efforts to
see chiral-anomaly related phenomena.
