Abstract

We compare the chemical potential associated with the onset of non-zero baryon number density on 646^4 and 848^4 lattices at β=5.1\beta=5.1 and ma=0.01. We provide evidence for Z(3)Z(3) tunnelling. We determine a critical chemical potential of μa0.1\mu a \simeq 0.1 which is unexpectedly low. We also determine the dependence of the onset of the observed phase transition on the quark mass. The physically misleading result of the quenched theory is shown to persist despite the inclusion of the complex fermion determinant.
