Unravelling the phase structure of strong-interaction matter with high-energy heavy-ion experiments — •Tetyana Galatyuk — Technische Universität Darmstadt — GSI, Darmstadt

Large efforts worldwide are being devoted to the study of nuclear matter far from its ground state. The goal of this endeavour is to understand the microscopic properties and the phase structure of strong-interaction matter, which is governed by the laws of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD), by creating extreme states of matter in the laboratory. The measurement of a comprehensive set of diagnostic probes offers the possibility to find signatures of new phases of QCD matter, and to discover the conjectured first order deconfinement and chiral phase transition, and the critical endpoint. In this talk I will discuss relevant observables to study criticality, emissivity, vorticity and the equation-of-state of strong-interaction matter.
