Thermodynamic Properties of Strongly Interacting Matter at Non-zero Baryon Number Density
نویسنده
چکیده
We present recent lattice results on QCD thermodynamics at nonvanishing baryon number density obtained from a 6th order Taylor expansion in the chemical potential. Results for bulk thermodynamic observables, in particular for fluctuations in the baryon number density, are found to be well described by a hadron resonance gas model at low temperature and an ideal quark gluon gas at high temperature. We also analyze the radius of convergence of the Taylor series and discuss the information it provides on the occurrence of a second order phase transition point in the QCD phase diagram.

Over the next decade high performance computing resources will reach the petaflops scale. Coupled with current and planned experiments at RHIC, FAIR, and the LHC, these computational resources will offer significant opportunities for the advancement of our understanding of the properties of strongly interacting matter at high temperatures and densities. We describe expected quantitative and qua...
متن کاملMapping the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter
The properties of strongly interacting matter at finite temperature, T 6= 0, and baryon density, nB 6= 0, has been studied extensively in recent years. The Phase Diagram (PD) is being explored experimentally in heavy-ion collisions and examined theoretically in models as well as in first-principle calculations of QCD. In the non-perturbative regime of QCD, Lattice Gauge Theory (LGT) provides a ...
متن کاملLattice Simulations of the Thermodynamics of Strongly Interacting Elementary Particles and the Exploration of New Phases of Matter in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions
At high temperatures or densities matter formed by strongly interacting elementary particles (hadronic matter) is expected to undergo a transition to a new form of matter the quark gluon plasma in which elementary particles (quarks and gluons) are no longer confined inside hadrons but are free to propagate in a thermal medium much larger in extent than the typical size of a hadron. The transiti...
متن کاملVariational Calculations for the Relativistic Interacting Fermion System at Finite Temperature: Application to Liquid 3He
In this paper, at first we have formulated the lowest order constrained variational method for the relativistic case of an interacting fermion system at finite temperature. Then we have used this formalism to calculate some thermodynamic properties of liquid in the relativistic regime. The results show that the difference between total energies of relativistic and non-relativistic cases of liqu...
متن کاملStrongly Interacting Matter at High Energy Density∗
This lecture concerns the properties of strongly interacting matter (which is described by Quantum Chromodynamics) at very high energy density. I review the properties of matter at high temperature, discussing the deconfinement phase transition . At high baryon density and low temperature, large Nc arguments are developed which suggest that high baryonic density matter is a third form of matter...
