Finite Density QCD: a New Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Lattice QCD at finite density via a new canonical approach
We carry out a finite density calculation based on a canonical approach which is designed to address the overlap problem. Two degenerate flavor simulations are performed using Wilson gauge action and Wilson fermions on 4 lattices, at temperatures close to the critical temperature Tc ≈ 170MeV and large densities (5 to 20 times nuclear matter density). In this region, we find that the algorithm w...
متن کاملA semi-variational approach to QCD at finite temperature and baryon density
Recently a new bosonization method has been used to derive, at zero fermion density, an effective action for relativistic field theories whose partition function is dominated by fermionic composites, chiral mesons in the case of QCD. This approach shares two important features with variational methods: the restriction to the subspace of the composites, and the determination of their structure f...
متن کاملQCD at a Finite Density of Static Quarks
Recently, cluster methods have been used to solve a variety of sign problems including those that arise in the presence of fermions. In all cases an analytic partial re-summation over a class of configurations in the path integral was necessary. Here the new ideas are illustrated using the example of QCD at a finite density of static quarks. In this limit the sign problem simplifies since the f...
متن کاملFactorization 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...
متن کاملNew results using the canonical approach to finite density QCD
We present some new results regarding simulations of finite density QCD based on a canonical approach. A previous study has shown that such simulations are feasible, at least on small lattices. In the current study, we investigate some of the issues left open: we study the errors introduced by our approximation of the action and we show how to tune it to reduce the cost of the simulations while...
