Particle Production at the SPS and the QCD Phase Diagram
Recent results of particle production in the energy regime of the CERN-SPS are reviewed. In order to collect information on the properties of the QCD phase diagram systematic studies of the system size and the energy dependence of particle production in heavy ion collisions have been performed. Net-baryon distributions and results on strangeness production are discussed. The system size depende...
متن کاملThe QCD phase diagram at zero and small baryon density
I review recent developments in determining the QCD phase diagram by means of lattice simulations. Since the invention of methods to side-step the sign problem a few years ago, a number of additional variants have been proposed, and progress has been made towards understanding some of the systematics involved. All available techniques agree on the transition temperature as a function of density...
متن کاملTowards the QCD phase diagram
We summarize our recent results on the phase diagram of QCD with N f = 2+1 quark flavors, as a function of temperature T and quark chemical potential μ . Using staggered fermions, lattices with temporal extent Nt = 4, and the exact RHMC algorithm, we first determine the critical line in the quark mass plane (mu,d ,ms) where the finite temperature transition at μ = 0 is second order. We confirm ...
متن کاملThe Phase Diagram of QCD
I use simple thermodynamic reasoning to argue that at temperatures of order a trillion kelvin, QCD, the theory which describes strongly interacting particles such as protons and neutrons under normal conditions, undergoes a phase transition to a plasma of more elementary constituents called quarks and gluons. I review what is known about the plasma phase both from theoretical calculations and f...
متن کاملMapping the QCD Phase Diagram
The QCD vacuum in which we live, which has the familiar hadrons as its excitations, is but one phase of QCD, and far from the simplest one at that. One way to better understand this phase and the nonperturbative dynamics of QCD more generally is to study other phases and the transitions between phases. We are engaged in a voyage of exploration, mapping the QCD phase diagram as a function of tem...
