Non-zero density QCD by the Taylor expansion method: The isentropic equation of state, hadronic fluctuations and more
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss the Taylor expansion approach to non-zero baryon chemical potential (μB) and present results on expanion coefficients of the pressure and energy density up to the 6-th order in μB. Calculations have been performed with (2+1)-flavor of improved staggerd fermions (p4fat3) and almost physical masses on lattices with temporal extent of four and six time slices. We use the expansion coefficients to construct the isentropic equation of state on lines of constant entropy per baryon number and various different hadronic fluctuations. Furthermore, we estimate the radius of convegence of our expansion, which can be seen as a method to analyze the structure of the QCD phase diagram.

Isentropic Equation of State of Two-Flavour QCD in a Quasi-Particle Model
We examine the isentropic QCD equation of state within a quasiparticle model being adjusted to first principle QCD calculations of two quark flavours. In particular, we compare with Taylor expansion coefficients of energy and entropy densities and with the isentropic trajectories describing the hydrodynamical expansion of a heavy-ion collision fireball.

This paper deals with state estimation of micro tunable capacitor subjected to nonlinear electrostatic force. For this end a nonlinear observer has been designed for state estimation of the structure. Necessary and sufficient conditions for construction of the observer are presented. Stability of the observer is checked using Lyapunov theorem. Observer design is based on converting of differen...

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...

We present results on the QCD equation of state, obtained with two different improved dynamical staggered fermion actions and almost physical quark masses. Lattice cut-off effect are discussed in detail as results for three different lattice spacings are available now, i.e. results have been obtained on lattices with temporal extent of Nτ = 4, 6 and 8. Furthermore we discuss the Taylor expansio...
