Abstract

The state-of-the-art in the modeling and analysis of relativistic heavy-ion collisions involves multistage approaches to simulate the evolving strongly interacting matter and uses Bayesian analysis to obtain statistically relevant physical quantities. This work features a (3+1)D model applied to collision energies lower than those considered so far to explore the full range of the RHIC beam energy scan. This enables an exploration of the behavior of QCD at large baryon chemical potentials. The results of such comprehensive and systematic phenomenological studies have promise to advance knowledge of QCD in extreme conditions.
