Abstract:

    Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider provides the facility for studying nuclear matter under extream conditions like very high
    temperature and density. Under such conditions, the normal matter is expected to undergo a phase transition, melting the
    proton and neutron into their fundamental constituents; quarks and gluons. Beam energy scan, at RHIC, a dedicated program
    to explore the QCD phase transition and search for the QCD Critical Point. In-medium modification of jets is considered as
    one of the self-generated tomographic probes to study the properties of hot and dense QCD medium. In my talk, I will discuss
    the current status of the search for the QCD critical point and jet quenching in Heavy-ion collisions with the STAR experiment
    at RHIC.
