Pressure and non-linear quark number susceptibilities in QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
We report the first measurements of sixth order non-linear quark number susceptibilities in continuum QCD. This extends our earlier computation of the continuum limit [1] of non-linear quark number susceptibilities and the pressure in QCD for m/Tc = 0.1. For T/Tc ≥ 1.5, no phase transitions are observable for μ < 30T . Systematics of off-diagonal susceptibilities are reported. The equation of state in the high temperature phase of the QCD plasma is constructed.

Numerical Study of the Equation of State for Two Flavor Qcd at Non-zero Baryon Density
We discuss the equation of state (EoS) for two flavor QCD at non-zero temperature and density. Derivatives of lnZ with respect to quark chemical potential μq are calculated up to sixth order. From this Taylor series, the pressure, quark number density and associated susceptibilities are estimated as functions of temperature and μq . It is found that the fluctuations in the quark number density ...

Susceptibilities to order α s in the high density phase of QCD Abstract We compute the free energy density of QCD to order α s at very high density and non-zero quark masses. The counterterms needed to renormalise the theory to order α s is same as the vacuum (non-zero density) theory. We investigate the response of the theory to non-zero quark masses and chemical potentials. We study quark num...
متن کاملQuark number susceptibilities from lattice QCD
Results from our recent investigations of quark number susceptibilities in both quenched and 2-flavour QCD are presented as a function of valence quark mass and temperature. A strong reduction (∼40%) is seen in the strange quark susceptibility above Tc in both cases. A comparison of our isospin susceptibility results with the corresponding weak coupling expansion reveals once again the non-pert...

We discuss the equation of state for 2 flavor QCD at non-zero temperature and density. Derivatives of lnZ with respect to quark chemical potential μq up to fourth order are calculated, enabling estimates of the pressure, quark number density and associated susceptibilities as functions of μq via a Taylor series expansion. It is found that the fluctuations in the quark number density increase in...
متن کاملQCD thermodynamics at zero and non-zero density
We present recent results on thermodynamics of QCD with almost physical light quark masses and a physical strange quark mass value. These calculations have been performed with an improved staggerd action especially designed for finite temperature lattice QCD. In detail we present a calculation of the transition temperature, using a combined chiral and continuum extrapolation. Furthermore we pre...
