Statistical moments of particle multiplicities in heavy-ion collision experiments are an important probe in the exploration of the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter and, particularly, in the search for the QCD critical end point.…
The RHIC Cold QCD program has produced a remarkable breadth of physics results and experimental techniques in the exploration of the fundamental structure of strongly interacting matter over the years. In this document, we present…
We study real photons produced in heavy ion collisions at RHIC, and we calculate their spectrum and its azimuthal momentum anisotropy. The photons from a variety of sources are included, and the interplay and the time-evolution of those…
Quarks of other flavours than up and down, i.e. $s$, $c$, and $b$ quarks, have been long recognized as effective probes of the structure of hot QCD matter. In this talk, I review some of the motivations for their investigation and discuss…
We utilize an event-by-event relativistic hydrodynamic calculation performed at a number of different incident beam energies to investigate the creation of hot and dense QCD matter near the critical point. Using state-of-the-art analysis…
Laboratory experiments with high-energetic heavy-ion collisions offer the opportunity to explore fundamental properties of nuclear matter, such as the high-density equation-of-state, which governs the structure and dynamics of cosmic…
The so called "isobar run" or RHIC was designed to compare a number of observables for collisions of $^{96}_{40}Zr$ with those of $^{96}_{44}Ru$, aimed at identification of $Z$-dependent effects. However, as the STAR data have shown with…
This letter relates theoretical predictions made previously with recently announced RHIC BES-II experimental data on multi-baryon fluctuations. We conclude that new statistically significant effect is observed, and its features are in good…

Measurements of the nuclear modification factor of inclusive yields of $\pi^0$, $p\bar{p}$, non-phtonic electrons and prompt photon measured at RHIC are reviewed. Some of the difficulties arising from interpretation of these measurements…
Heavy-ion collisions provide the only laboratory tests of relativistic quantum field theory at finite temperature. Understanding these is a necessary step in understanding the origins of our universe. These lectures introduce the subject to…

After five years of running at RHIC, and on the eve of the LHC heavy-ion program, we highlight the status of femtoscopic measurements. We emphasize the role interferometry plays in addressing fundamental questions about the state of matter…
The RHIC Beam Energy Scan focuses on the study of the QCD phase diagram --- temperature ($T$) vs. baryon chemical potential ($\mu_B$). The aim is to verify some predictions from QCD: that a cross-over occurs at $\mu_B$ = 0, that there…
Measurements at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory have revealed strong modification of the jet structure in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, which can be attributed to the interaction of hard…
