Description

The 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. An overview of various observables studied by STAR and PHENIX to identify those structures in the QCD phase diagram will be presented. Furthermore, I will give an outlook on the BES phase II program which is anticipated for the years 2019-2020 and possible connections to the future CBM experiment at FAIR.
