The QCD phase diagram at finite density

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-09-29 v1

Abstract

We study the density of states method to explore the phase diagram of the chiral transition on the tempeature and quark chemical potential plane. Four quark flavours are used in the analysis. Though the method is quite expensive small lattices show an indication for a triple-point connecting three different phases on the phase diagram.
