Title: RHIC Beam Energy Scan as a window to new physics
Speaker: Olena Linnyk (Giessen)
Abstract: Using a microscopic transport approach PHSD allows us to connect the particle yield, asymmetry and spectra measurements in heavy-ion collisions to the underlying physics phenomena, such as the chiral symmetry restoration, onset of deconfinement, transport coefficients of the QCD matter, thermodynamic properties of the produced medium. Heavy ion collisions at different center-of-mass energies of the BES stage I and II are simulated. We will present comparisons to the existing data and the calculations for the energies and observables relevant in the future, concentrating on the signals from the production of dileptons, charm and strangeness.
