Decoding the phase structure of QCD via particle production at high energy

TL;DR: In this paper, the phase boundary of strongly interacting matter is located and the phase structure of quantum chromodynamics is elucidated by analysing particle production in high-energy nuclear collisions within the framework of statistical hadronization, which accounts for the thermal distribution of particle species.

Mapping the phases of quantum chromodynamics with beam energy scan

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the present status of the search for a phase transition and critical point as well as anomalous transport phenomena in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), with an emphasis on the Beam Energy Scan program at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

The Renormalization group and the epsilon expansion

TL;DR: In this paper, the modern formulation of the renormalization group is explained for both critical phenomena in classical statistical mechanics and quantum field theory, and the expansion in ϵ = 4−d is explained [ d is the dimension of space (statistical mechanics) or space-time (quantum field theory)].

Confinement of Quarks

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown how to quantize a gauge field theory on a discrete lattice in Euclidean space-time, preserving exact gauge invariance and treating the gauge fields as angular variables.

The order of the quantum chromodynamics transition predicted by the standard model of particle physics

TL;DR: Finite-size scaling analysis shows that the finite-temperature QCD transition in the hot early Universe was not a real phase transition, but an analytic crossover (involving a rapid change, as opposed to a jump, as the temperature varied).

Relativistic Hadron-Hadron Collisions in the Ultra-Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics Model (UrQMD)

TL;DR: In this paper, hadron-hadron collisions at high energies are investigated in the ultra-relativistic-quantum-molecular-dynamics approach (UrQMD), designed to study pp, pA and A+A collisions.
