The Qcd Phase Diagram for Small Chemical Potentials
نویسنده
چکیده
We compute derivatives of thermodynamic quantities with respect to μ, at μ = 0 for 2 and 3 flavors of degenerate quark masses. This allows us to estimate the phase transition line in the T, μ plane and quantify the influence of a non vanishing chemical potential on the equation of state by computing lines of constant energy, pressure and density. Moreover we evaluate the order of the QCD phase transition by measuring the Binder Cumulant of the chiral condensate. This gives access to the chiral critical point on the phase transition line.

Towards the chiral critical surface of QCD
The critical endpoint of the QCD phase diagram is usually expected to belong to the chiral critical surface, i.e. the surface of second order transitions bounding the region of first order chiral phase transitions for small quark masses in the {mu,d,ms, μ} parameter space. For μ = 0, QCD with physical quark masses is known to be an analytic crossover, requiring the region of chiral transitions ...
متن کاملQcd Phase Diagram in Nonlocal Chiral Quark Models
The QCD phase diagram is analyzed within chiral quark models with nonlocal separable interactions. For the case of two light flavors, we describe in detail the characteristics of the chiral phase transition in the T − µ plane, and analyze the color superconducting phase transition taking place at relatively large chemical potentials. We also consider the three-flavor version of the models, anal...
متن کاملHeavy Quark Chemical Potential as Probe of the Phase Diagram of Nuclear Matter
We study the temperature dependence of the strange and charm quark chemical potentials in the phase diagram of nuclear matter, within a modified and generalized hadron gas model, in order to consider phase transitions and to describe phenomena taking place outside the hadronic phase. We employ, in a phenomenological way, the Polyakov loop and scalar quark condensate order parameters, mass/tempe...

Determining the QCD phase diagram is a pressing task in view of its relevance for nuclear and astro-particle physics programmes. We review the current status of lattice calculations of the phase diagram in the (T, μB)-plane for baryon chemical potentials μB < ∼ 500 MeV. At μB = 0, simulations of staggered fermion actions predict the quark hadron transition to be a crossover in the continuum lim...

Using a chiral random matrix theory we can now derive the low energy partition functions and Dirac eigenvalue correlations of QCD with different chemical potentials for the dynamical and valence quarks. The results can also be extended to complex (and purely imaginary) chemical potential. We also discuss possible applications such as fitting to low energy constants and understanding the phase d...
