It is argued that in relativistic heavy ion collisions, due to limited size of the formed matter, the reliable criterion of critical point is finite-size scaling, rather than non-monotonous behavior of observable. How to locate critical…

A critical point (E) is expected in QCD on the temperature (T) versus baryonic chemical potential (\mu) plane. Using a recently proposed lattice method for \mu \neq 0 we study dynamical QCD with n_f=2+1 staggered quarks of physical masses…

We discuss the QCD critical point at finite density through the study of many flavor QCD, in which two light flavors and Nf massive flavors exist. Performing simulations of QCD with two flavors of improved Wilson fermions, we calculate…

A critical point in the phase diagram of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), if established either theoretically or experimentally, would be as profound a discovery as the good-old gas-liquid critical point. Unlike the latter, however,…
