Description
High compression of nuclear matter occurs in central energetic collisions of heavy nuclei, commonly referred to just as Heavy Ion Collisions (HIC). Inferring the nuclear Equation of State (EoS) requires a careful selection of observables from HIC and comparisons to transport model simulations incorporating different EoS. Current status and plans on both the experimental and theoretical sides will be reviewed, with some emphasis on the symmetry energy. Connection to astrophysical EoS inferences will be discussed, too.
