The curvature of the QCD phase transition line
نویسندگان
چکیده
We determine the curvature of the phase transition line in the µ − T plane through an analysis of various observables, including the Polyakov loop, the quark number susceptibilities and the susceptibility of the chiral condensate. The second derivative of these quantities with respect to µ was calculated. The measurements were carried out on N T = 4, 6, 8 and 10 lattices generated with a Symanzik improved gauge and stout-link improved 2+1 flavour staggered fermion action using physical quark masses.

متن کاملLattice calculations at non-zero chemical potential: The QCD phase diagram
The so-called sign problem of lattice QCD prohibits Monte Carlo simulations at finite baryon density by means of importance sampling. Over the last few years, methods have been developed which are able to circumvent this problem as long as the quark chemical potential is µ/T < ∼ 1. After a brief review of these methods, their application to a first principles determination of the QCD phase diag...
متن کاملRemarks on the multi-parameter reweighting method for the study of lattice QCD at non-zero temperature and density
We comment on the reweighting method for the study of finite density lattice QCD. We discuss the applicable parameter range of the reweighting method for models which have more than one simulation parameter. The application range is determined by the fluctuations of the modification factor of the Boltzmann weight. In some models having a first order phase transition, the fluctuations are minimi...
متن کاملThe phase boundary for the QCD transition at small chemical potentials
In a recent work [1] we have shown that the curvature of the phase transition line in the chiral limit can be obtained from an analysis of the universal scaling properties of a certain mixed susceptibility (χm,q) which is defined by the leading order Taylor expansion coefficient of the chiral condensate with respect to the light quark chemical potential. Numerical calculations have been perform...
