用正则系综方法研究QCD临界点

Study of QCD critical point using canonical ensemble method

Anyi Li, Andrei Alexandru, Xiangfei Meng, Keh-Fei Liu

摘要:

重子密度不为零时QCD临界点的存在不仅是实验物理的重要问题,也是对理论的挑战。我们使用基于正则系综方法的晶格模拟来探索有限重子密度区域并寻找临界点。我们用$6^3\times4$格点上带有$m_π\approx 700{MeV}$的三叶草费米子扫描了具有三种简并夸克味的QCD相图。当我们增加密度时,我们测量重子化学势,我们看到特征性的“S形”,这是一级相变的信号。我们用麦克斯韦作图法确定了相界,并给出了临界点位置的初步结果。

英文摘要:

The existence of the QCD critical point at non-zero baryon density is not only of great interest for experimental physics but also a challenge for the theory. We use lattice simulations based on the canonical ensemble method to explore the finite baryon density region and look for the critical point. We scan the phase diagram of QCD with three degenerate quark flavors using clover fermions with $m_π\approx 700{MeV}$ on $6^3\times4$ lattices. We measure the baryon chemical potential as we increase the density and we see the characteristic "S-shape" that signals the first order phase transition. We determine the phase boundary by Maxwell construction and report our preliminary results for the location of critical point.
