Abstract

Results from the Beam Energy Scan (BES) program conducted by STAR experiment at RHIC are presented. The data from Phase-I of the BES program collected in Au+Au collisions at center-of-mass energies (√s_NN) of 7.7, 11.5, 19.6, 27, and 39 GeV cover a wide range of baryon chemical potential μ_B (100--400 MeV) in the QCD phase diagram. Several STAR results from the BES Phase-I related to "turn-off" of strongly interacting quark--gluon plasma (sQGP) signatures and signals of QCD phase boundary are reported. In addition to this, an outlook is presented for the future BES Phase-II program and a possible fixed target program at STAR.
