Abstract

We study the chiral phase transition of quark matter under rotation in two-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. It is found that, in the rotating frame, the angular velocity plays the similar role as the baryon chemical potential and suppresses the chiral condensate, thus the chiral phase transition shows a critical end point not only in the temperature-chemical potential TμT-\mu plane, but also in the temperature-angular momentum TωT-\omega plane. One interesting observation is that in the TμT-\mu plane, the presence of the angular momentum only shifts down the critical temperature TET^E of the CEP and does not shift the critical chemical potential μE\mu^E, and in the TωT-\omega plane, the increase of the chemical potential only shift down the critical temperature TET^E and does not change the critical angular momentum ωE\omega^E. The phase structure in the TμT-\mu plane is sensitive to the coupling strength in the vector channel, while the phase structure in TωT-\omega plane is not. It is also observed that the rotating angular velocity suppresses the kurtosis of the baryon number fluctuations, while it enhances the pressure density, energy density, the specific heat and the sound velocity.
