A Finite Baryon Density Algorithm

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

I will review the progress toward a finite baryon density algorithm in the canonical ensemble approach which entails particle number projection from the fermion determinant. These include an efficient Pad\'{e}-Z2_2 stochastic estimator of the TrlogTr \log of the fermion matrix and a Noisy Monte Carlo update to accommodate unbiased estimate of the probability. Finally, I will propose a Hybrid Noisy Monte Carlo algorithm to reduce the large fluctuation in the estimated TrlogTr \log due to the gauge field which should improve the acceptance rate. Other application such as treating uu and dd as two separate flavors is discussed.
