QCD at non-zero temperature and density from the lattice
C. R. Allton, S. Ejiri, S. J. Hands +4
The study of systems as diverse as the cores of neutron stars and heavy-ion collision experiments requires the understanding of the phase structure of QCD at non-zero temperature,…
Thermodynamics of Two Flavor QCD to Sixth Order in Quark Chemical Potential
C. R. Allton, M. Doering, S. Ejiri +5
We present results of a simulation of 2-flavor QCD on a 4x16^3 lattice using p4-improved staggered fermions with bare quark mass m/T=0.4. Derivatives of the thermodynamic grand can…
Non-Compact QED_3 with N_f=1 and N_f=4
S. J. Hands, J. B. Kogut, L. Scorzato +1
We present numerical results for non-compact three-dimensional QED for numbers of flavors N_f=1 and N_f=4.In particular, we address the issue of whether chiral symmetry is spontane…
Study of QCD thermodynamics at finite density by Taylor expansion
Shinji Ejiri, Chris R. Allton, Simon J. Hands +4
We discuss the phase structure and the equation of state for QCD at non-zero temperature and density. Derivatives of with respect to quark chemical potential up to fo…
Where is the chiral critical point in 3-flavor QCD?
F. Karsch, C. R. Allton, S. Ejiri +4
We determine the location of the second order endpoint of the line of first order chiral phase transition in 3-flavor QCD at vanishing chemical potential. Using Ferrenberg-Swendsen…
