2 Motivation Different phases of QCD occur in the universe Neutron Stars, Big Bang Exploring the phase diagram is important to understanding the phase that we happen to live in Structure of hadrons is determined by the structure of the vacuum Need to understand how vacuum can be modified QCD simplifies in extreme environments Study QCD matter in a regime where quarks and gluons are the correct degrees of freedom 2

6 Phases of Matter phase order broken rigidity Goldstone param symmetry phenomenon boson crystal ρ k translations rigid phonon magnet M rotations magnetization magnon superfluid Φ particle number supercurrent phonon supercond. ψψ gauge symmetry supercurrent none (Higgs) 6
