Magnetic-Field Induced Critical Endpoint
arXiv:1612.07541 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.95.054013
Abstract
The phase diagram of strong interaction matter is analyzed utilizing the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. Special emphasis is placed on its dependence on an external magnetic field and isospin chemical potential. Using flavor mixing induced by instanton effects the influence of isospin breaking due to the magnetic field and the isospin chemical potential is compared. It is found that at low temperatures and large quark chemical potential the magnetic field, depending on its strength, induces a new critical endpoint or a triple point.
