International Conference on Science and Technology for FAIR in Europe 2014

A Beam Energy Scan (BES) program was carried out at RHIC with the main goals to find signatures for the disappearance of the QGP, a QCD phase transition, and for a critical point. I will give an overview of various observables studied by STAR and PHENIX to identify those structures in the QCD phase diagram. Furthermore I will give an outlook on the BES phase II program which is anticipated for...
