By using the extended ensemble, a reversible path was constructed to link the monodisperse and corresponding polydisperse system. Once the fluid-solid coexistence point of the monodisperse system is known, the fluid-solid coexistence point of the polydisperse system can be obtained from the simulation. The validity of the method is checked by the simulation of the fluid-solid phase transition of a size-polydisperse hard sphere colloid. The results are in agreement with the previous studies.11 pages, 4 figuresSoft Condensed MatterStatistical MechanicsA new Monte Carlo method to study the fluid-solid phase transition of polydisperse hard spherestext
