From deconfinement to nuclear matter: mean-field approaches for effective Polyakov loop theories of lattice QCD
Christoph Konrad, Owe Philipsen
Numerical studies of the QCD phase diagram at finite baryon chemical potential on the lattice are impeded by a sign problem. Effective Polyakov loop theories derived from lat…
