QCD at non-zero density: lattice results

QCD at Non-Zero Density : Lattice Results

A concise review of the progress of lattice calculations at non-zero density since QM2006, with emphasis on the high baryon density, low temperature domain. Possibilities for exploring densities higher than those studied by standard techniques are analysed. The phase transitions of cold, dense matter, where the sign problem remains severe, are discussed in the context of QCD-like models and app...

Recent lattice QCD results at non-zero baryon densities

QCD thermodynamics at zero and non-zero density

We present recent results on thermodynamics of QCD with almost physical light quark masses and a physical strange quark mass value. These calculations have been performed with an improved staggerd action especially designed for finite temperature lattice QCD. In detail we present a calculation of the transition temperature, using a combined chiral and continuum extrapolation. Furthermore we pre...

An Introduction to Lattice Qcd at Non–zero Temperature and Density

QCD at non-zero temperature and density is a rich subject discussed in many talks at this meeting: from the introductory lesson describing the theoretical discovery of the quark gluon plasma 1 to the subtle interrelations of gauge fields dynamics and charmonium suppresions , from the detailed analysis of the exotic phases at large baryon density 3 to the fascinating aspects of the QCD phase dia...

Two-colour Lattice QCD with dynamical fermions at non-zero density versus Matrix Models

We provide first evidence that Matrix Models describe the low lying complex Dirac eigenvalues in a theory with dynamical fermions at non-zero density. Lattice data for gauge group SU(2) with staggered fermions are compared to detailed analytical results from Matrix Models in the corresponding symmetry class, the complex chiral Symplectic Ensemble. They confirm the predicted dependence on chemic...
