Phase structure of four flavor QCD in the T μplane from a new method for simulations of lattice gauge theories at non zero baryon density

2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/38868We review a method for numerical simulations of lattice gauge theories at non-zero baryonic chemical potential we recently proposed. We first report on a test of the method using a solvable model and then present results for the phase structure of four flavour QCD. For the first time the region of chemical potential up to 1.4 T_C is explored, finding a first order transition line.7 pages, 4 figures; to appear in the proceedings of the workshop on "Non-Perturbative Quantum Field Theory: Lattice and Beyond", Guangzhou, ChinaHigh Energy Physics - LatticePhase structure of four flavor QCD in the T μplane from a new method for simulations of lattice gauge theories at non zero baryon densitytext
