Phase Quenched Lattice QCD at Finite Density and Temperature
Abstract
Description
We simulate 3-flavour lattice QCD at finite quark-number chemical potential mu in the phase-quenched approximation, close to the finite temperature transition. Working close to the critical quark mass, we find no evidence for the expected critical endpoint at small mu. We are performing further simulations aimed at calculating the equation-of-state of this theory outside of the superfluid domain, where its phase structure is expected to mimic the full theory.
