Multiple Critical Points in the QCD Phase Diagram
J. I. Kapusta, E. S. Bowman
We use the linear sigma model with two flavors of quarks to study the phase diagram at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential as a function of the vacuum pion mass. Our c…

Critical Points in the QCD Phase Diagram with Two Flavors of Quarks
J. I. Kapusta, E. S. Bowman
We employ the linear sigma model to study the chiral dynamics of two flavors of quarks at finite temperature and density. Our calculations include thermal fluctuations of both the…

Critical Points in the Linear Sigma Model with Quarks
E. Scott Bowman, Joseph I. Kapusta
We employ a simple effective model to study the chiral dynamics of two flavors of quarks at finite temperature and density. In particular, we determine the phase diagram in the pla…
