The Phase Diagram of QCD

Abstract

We show that current experimental knowledge of QCD together with general model independent arguments such as continuity, universality and thermodynamic relations, as well as the information gained from various models can be used to constrain the phase diagram of QCD as a function of temperature and baryon chemical potential.
