Behavior of physical observables in the vicinity of the QCD critical end point
Using the SU(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model, we study the chiral phase transition at finite T and μB. Special attention is given to the QCD critical end point (CEP): the study of physical quantities, as the pressure, the entropy, the baryon number susceptibility and the specific heat near the CEP, will provide complementary information concerning the order of the phase transition. We also an...
متن کاملRelations between Observables and the Infrared Fixed-Point in QCD
We investigate the possibility that αs freezes as function of Nf within perturbation theory. We use two approaches – direct search for a zero in the effective-charge (ECH) β function, and the Banks-Zaks (BZ) expansion. We emphasize the fundamental difference between quantities with space-like vs. those with time-like momentum. We show that within the ECH approach several space-like quantities e...

متن کاملProspects of detecting the QCD critical point
We investigate the possibility to observe the QCD critical point in A + A collisions at the SPS. Guided by the QCD phase diagram expressed in experimentally accessible variables we suggest that the process C +C at 158 GeV /n freezes out very close to the critical point. We perform an analysis of the available preliminary experimental data for a variety of SPS processes. The basic tool in our ef...
متن کاملHow to Find the Qcd Critical Point
The event-by-event fluctuations in heavy ion collisions carry information about the thermodynamic properties of the hadronic system at the time of freeze-out. By studying these fluctuations as a function of varying control parameters, such as the collision energy, it is possible to learn much about the phase diagram of QCD. As a timely example, we stress the methods by which present experiments...
