The QCD phase diagram for small densities from imaginary chemical potential

Abstract

Abstract We present results on the QCD phase diagram for μ B ⩽ πT . Our simulations are performed with an imaginary chemical potential μ = iμ I for which the fermion determinant is positive. On an 8 3 ×4 lattice with 2 flavors of staggered quarks, we map out the phase diagram and identify the (pseudo-) critical temperature T c ( μ I ). For μ I / T ⩽ π /3, this is an analytic function, whose Taylor expansion is found to converge rapidly, with truncation errors far smaller than statistical ones. The truncated series may then be continued to real μ , yielding the corresponding phase diagram for μ B ≲500 MeV. This approach provides control over systematics and avoids reweighting. We compare it with other recent work.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
