Abstract
The STAR experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory has completed data taking for the second phase of the beam energy scan (BES-II) program, including in a fixed-target (FXT) mode. The BES-II program has collected high-statistics data on Au+Au collisions in the high baryon-density region of the QCD phase diagram. Together those data cover a wide range of per-nucleon center-of-mass energy from 3~GeV to 27~GeV. Recent results and anticipated analyses will be discussed along with implications for mapping the QCD phase diagram and its critical point.
