چکیده
We will discuss recent results on the thermodynamics of QCD in the presence of light dynamical quark degrees of freedom. In particular, we will concentrate on an analysis of the flavour and quark mass dependence of the QCD phase diagram, the equation of state and the transition temperature. Moreover, we present recent results on the heavy quark free energy.

I review recent developments in the study of strongly interacting field theories with non-zero chemical potential µ. In particular I focus on (a) the determination of the QCD critical endpoint in the (µ, T) plane; (b) superfluid condensates in Two Color QCD; and (c) Fermi surface effects in the NJL model. Some remarks are made concerning the relation of superconductivity with the sign problem.

The dependence of thermodynamic properties of QCD on the number of quark flavours is investigated. Lattice results for the equation of state are presented for 2, 2+1 and 3 quark flavours. The simulations have been performed with the improved p4-staggered fermion and a Symanzik improved gluon action on lattices of size 16 3 × 4 and 16 4 .

We report on the status of our QCD thermodynamics project. It is performed on the QCDOC machine at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the APEnext machine at Bielefeld University. Using a 2+1 flavor formulation of QCD at almost realistic quark masses we calculated several thermodynamical quantities. In this proceeding we show the susceptibilites of the chiral condensate and the Polyakov loop, th...

We propose a novel quasiparticle interpretation of the equation of state of deconfined QCD at finite temperature. Using appropriate thermal masses, we introduce a phenomenological parametrization of the onset of confinement in the vicinity of the phase transition. Lattice results of the energy density, the pressure and the interaction measure of pure SU(3) gauge theory are well reproduced. A re...

We examine the potential of the COMPASS experiment at CERN to study color transparency via exclusive coherent vector meson production in hard muon-nucleus scattering. It is demonstrated that COMPASS has high sensitivity to test this important prediction of perturbative QCD.
