Description
The lattice-QCD exploration of the QCD phase diagram has advanced considerably in recent years through increasingly precise calculations of thermodynamic observables and fluctuations of conserved charges.
These developments have improved our understanding of strongly interacting matter at finite temperature and density and provided new insights into the QCD transition region.
This overview summarizes recent progress in lattice-QCD studies of the phase diagram, with emphasis on finite-density thermodynamics, fluctuations and correlations of conserved charges, and deconfinement observables.
