Description
The Solenoidal Tracker at RHIC (STAR) experiment is dedicated to the study of the different phases and properties of high energy-density QCD matter produced in ion-ion collisions at RHIC. A major current focus is centered on mapping the QCD phase diagram, elucidating the transport and anomalous transport properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP), and testing for chiral symmetry restoration. In this STAR overview talk, I am planning to present our recent measurements that are expected to shed light on the initial stages of heavy-ion collisions, the temperature-dependent viscosity (\eta/s(T)), and the chiral properties of the QGP.
