What is the QCD phase structure? • Vanishing mB, high T (lattice QCD) • Crossover, universality • no CP indicated by lattice QCD atmB < 400 MeV, T >140 MeV • Large mB moderate T (QCD inspired models) • Thermal equilibrium? • 1st order transition? • QCD critical point? • Melting of the condensate? 2 < √sNN < 8 GeV Large discovery potential! [P. Steinbrecher (HotQCD), arXiv:1807.05607 Condensate: B.J. Schaefer and J. Wambach]
