As the chirally restored phase ends with T coming down to T_c, a phase resembling a mixed phase is realized, during which the hadrons (which are massless at T_c in the chiral limit) get their masses back out of their kinetic energy. The…
Searching of the critical endpoint of the phase transition of Quantum Chromodynamics~(QCD) matter in experiments is of great interest. The temperature in the fireball of a collider is location dependent, however, most theoretical studies…
