QCD phase diagram from the gluon propagator at finite temperature and density

Abstract

The screened massive expansion of full QCD is used in conjunction with a model for infrared quark masses to compute the Landau-gauge gluon propagator at finite temperature and baryonic density. Analytic expressions up to a one-dimensional momentum integral are provided for the propagator, and its behavior is studied at zero Matsubara frequency with respect to temperature, chemical potential, and the parameters of the expansion. The phase diagram of QCD is explored under the assumption that the deconfinement temperature can be identified as the position of the maximum of the longitudinal gluon propagator at zero Matsubara frequency and fixed spatial momentum.
