TY - JOUR A1 - Petersen, Hannah T1 - Beam energy scan theory : status and open questions T2 - Nuclear physics. A, Nuclear and hadronic physics N2 - The goal of heavy ion reactions at low beam energies is to explore the QCD phase diagram at high net baryon chemical potential. To relate experimental observations with a first order phase transition or a critical endpoint, dynamical approaches for the theoretical description have to be developed. In this summary of the corresponding plenary talk, the status of the dynamical modeling including the most recent advances is presented. The remaining challenges are highlighted and promising experimental measurements are pointed out.
