Heavy-Ion Physics (QCD under Extreme Conditions) First question you should ask: WHY??
Motivation and some disturbing facts
Collective effects x “fundamental” physics
Second question you should ask: WHERE??
Accelerator experiments, astro, early universe
My focus: the EoS
Third question you should ask: HOW??
Theory, models, etc Effective model building
Z(N), the Polyakov loop, and confinement
Chiral symmetry breaking
Two examples on relevance and difficulties in exploring the
phase diagram
Chiral magnetic effect and the strong CP problem
Drawing the phase diagram
Final comments
