Abstract

Within the Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs) framework, a gluon propagator model incorporating quark's feedback through operator product expansion (OPE) is introduced to investigate the QCD phase diagram in the temperature--chemical-potential () plane. Partial restoration of chiral symmetry at zero temperature and finite temperature are both studied, suggesting a first order phase transition point on the axis and a critical end point at , where is the pseudo-critical temperature. In addition, we find the pseudo-critical line can be well parameterized with the curvature parameter and a consistent decrease in with more of gluon propagator distributed to quark's feedback.
