Figure 2.1: Phase diagram <strong>of</strong> strongly interacting matter. <strong>The</strong> data points are obtained from experimental<br />
data measured at <strong>the</strong> three accelerators AGS, SPS (CERN) and RHIC, using<br />
a <strong>the</strong>rmal fit model to calculate <strong>the</strong> temperature T and <strong>the</strong> chemical potential µ b at<br />
chemical freeze out. Filled circles are from analysis <strong>of</strong> mid-rapidity data, open circles<br />
from analysis <strong>of</strong> 4π data. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore <strong>the</strong>oretical expectations for <strong>the</strong> phase boundary<br />
between confined and deconfined matter are shown. <strong>The</strong> dotted line is calculated<br />
with <strong>the</strong> bag model and <strong>the</strong> dashed/solid line is from lattice quantum chromodynamics<br />
calculations. <strong>The</strong> filled triangle indicates a possible position <strong>of</strong> a critical endpoint.<br />
<strong>The</strong> magenta line shows <strong>the</strong> evolution <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Universe in its first moments <strong>of</strong> existence.<br />
