Thermodynamics and phase diagrams of the Polyakov quark-meson model with on-shell versus curvature mass parameter fixing

Suraj Kumar Rai, Vivek Kumar Tiwari

The Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) phase structure has been studied using the Polyakov-loop augmented quark-meson model (PQM) in the extended mean field approximation (e-MFA) where t…
