QCD phase diagram: an overview
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this review is to summarize the contemporary understanding of the QCD phase diagram as a function of temperature T and baryo-chemical potential µ B. The focus is on recent theoretical developments due to lattice simulations of the phase diagram.

Lattice Simulations with Chemical Potential
After giving an overview of recently invented methods for simulating lattice QCD at small µ/T , we discuss some results for bulk thermodynamic quantities of QCD matter coming from those methods. We focus on the transition line and the critical endpoint in the QCD phase diagram.
متن کاملDetecting a First-Order Transition in the QCD Phase Diagram with Baryon-Baryon Correlations
We suggest baryon-baryon correlations as an experimentally accessible signature for a first-order phase transition between a baryon-rich phase, like quarkyonic, and a baryon-suppressed hadronic phase in the QCD phase diagram.
متن کاملThe QCD Phase Diagram from Chiral Approaches
I show an updated QCD phase diagram with recent developments from chiral effective theories and phenomenological models. Expected signals of a QCD critical point accessible in heavy-ion collisions are also discussed. In particular, non-monotonic behavior of fluctuations associated with conserved charges is focused on.
متن کاملLattice QCD at High Temperature and Density
After a brief introduction into basic aspects of the formulation of lattice regularized QCD at finite temperature and density we discuss our current understanding of the QCD phase diagram at finite temperature. We present results from lattice calculations that emphasize the deconfining as well as chiral symmetry restoring features of the QCD transition, and discuss the thermodynamics of the hig...
متن کاملEigenvalue correlations in QCD with a chemical potential
We discuss a new Random Matrix Model for QCD with a chemical potential that is based on the symmetries of the Dirac operator and can be solved exactly for all eigenvalue correlations for any number of flavors. In the microscopic limit of small energy levels the results should be an accurate description of QCD. This new model can also be scaled so that all physical observables remain at their μ ...
