Abstract
The exploration of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram has been one of the main drivers of contemporary nuclear physics. Heavy-ion collisions provide a powerful tool to explore phase structures of strongly interacting hot and dense nuclear matter called Quark–Gluon Plasma (QGP). The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) is uniquely suited to map the QCD phase diagram by varying the energy of collisions, as well as nuclei species. These proceedings discuss the most recent results from the STAR experiment at RHIC and future plans.
