Aiming to understand the phase structure of lattice QCD at nonzero temperature and density, we study the phase transitions of QCD in an extended parameter space, where the number of flavor, quark masses, complex chemical potentials and so on are considered as parameters.
Performing simulations of 2-flavor QCD with improved staggered and Wilson fermions and using the reweighting method, we...

Enhanced near critical fluctuations can be quantified by the variance of the critical field (the Gaussian cumulant), as well as higher non-Gaussian cumulants such as skewness and kurtosis. These non-Gaussian cumulants are accessible through measurements of event-by-event fluctuations of various particle multiplicities. Non-Gaussian event-by-event fluctuations of multiplicities are generically...

We present the first application of state-of-the-art 3D viscous hybrid model to heavy ion collisions at RHIC Beam Energy Scan (BES) energy range $\sqrt{s}=7.7\dots200$ GeV. The model employs the hadron transport approach UrQMD for the early and late non-equilibrium stages of the reaction, and 3+1 dimensional viscous hydrodynamics for the hot and dense quark-gluon plasma stage. It includes the...

At top RHIC energies and at the LHC, the suppression of high transverse momentum ($p_{T}$) hadrons provides evidence for partonic energy loss in a QGP. We study jet quenching in the RHIC BES by investigating the centrality dependence of the binary-collision-scaled high-$p_{T}$ yields. In this representation we can see if the scaled yield decreases as we go to larger overlap regions and higher...

The RHIC Beam Energy Scan explores the high baryon density region of
the QCD phase diagram to find signatures of the critical point.
PHENIX has measured global observables such as $dN_{ch}/d\eta$ and
$dE_{T}/d\eta$ at midrapidity in Au$+$Au collisions at
$\sqrt{s_{NN}}$=7-200 GeV as well as elliptic ($v_{2}$) and
triangular ($v_{3}$) flow coefficients for identified charged
hadrons at...
