New possibilities for QCD at finite density

چکیده

I review the growing theoretical indications that at high densities color SU(3) gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken by the formation of a quark pair condensate. This leads to a rich phase structure for QCD as a function of temperature and chemical potential. I also discuss the prospects for lattice QCD calculations at finite density, including the Glasgow algorithm and imaginary chemical potential.

Lattice QCD at finite temperature and density

QCD at finite temperature and density is becoming increasingly important for various experimental programmes, ranging from heavy ion physics to astro-particle physics. The non-perturbative nature of non-abelian quantum field theories at finite temperature leaves lattice QCD as the only tool by which we may hope to come to reliable predictions from first principles. This requires careful extrapo...

On the QCD Phase Transition at Finite Baryon Density

We investigate the QCD chiral phase transition at finite chemical potential μ, using the renormalization group (RG) to characterize the infrared behavior of sigma models constrained by the flavor and spacetime symmetries. The results are similar to those obtained from RG analysis of the finite temperature transition at zero baryon density. When there are more than two massless flavors of quarks...

Factorization Method for Simulating Qcd at Finite Density

We propose a new method for simulating QCD at finite density. The method is based on a general factorization property of distribution functions of observables, and it is therefore applicable to any system with a complex action. The so-called overlap problem is completely eliminated by the use of constrained simulations. We test this method in a Random Matrix Theory for finite density QCD, where...

Finite Density QCD: a New Approach

We introduce a new approach to analyze the phase diagram of QCD at finite chemical potential and temperature, test it in the Gross-Neveu model at finite baryon density, and apply it to the study of the chemical potential-temperature phase diagram of QCD with four degenerate flavors of Kogut-Susskind type.
