We demonstrate how to locate the critical endpoint of the QCD phase transition by means of simulations at imaginary \mu. For the three flavor theory, we present numerical results for the pseudo-critical line as a function of chemical…

We review our results for the QCD phase diagram at baryonic chemical potential mu_B \leq pi T. Our simulations are performed with an imaginary chemical potential mu_I for which the fermion determinant is positive. For 2 flavors of staggered…

We present results on the QCD phase diagram for small densities without reweighting. Our simulations are performed with an imaginary chemical potential mu_I for which the fermion determinant is positive. On an 8^3x4 lattice with 2 flavors…

We present results on the QCD phase diagram for mu_B <= pi T. Our simulations are performed with an imaginary chemical potential mu_I for which the fermion determinant is positive. On an 8^3 x 4 lattice with 2 flavors of staggered quarks,…

We analyze the phase diagram of QCD with four staggered flavors in the (mu, T) plane using a method recently proposed by us. We explore the region T > 0.7 Tc and mu <1.4 Tc, where Tc is the transition temperature at zero baryon density, and…

We investigate the phase diagram in the temperature, imaginary chemical potential plane for QCD with three degenerate quark flavors using Wilson type fermions. While more expensive than the staggered fermions used in past studies in this…

We compute derivatives of thermodynamic quantities with respect to $\mu$, at $\mu=0$ for 2 and 3 flavors of degenerate quark masses. This allows us to estimate the phase transition line in the $T,\mu$ plane and quantify the influence of a…

We summarize our recent results on the phase diagram of QCD with N_f=2+1 quark flavors, as a function of temperature T and quark chemical potential \mu. Using staggered fermions, lattices with temporal extent N_t=4, and the exact RHMC…

We present results for phase structure of lattice QCD with two degenerate flavors ($N_f=2$) of Wilson quarks at finite temperature $T$ and small baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$. Using the imaginary chemical potential for which the fermion…

QCD with three degenerate quark flavours at zero baryon density exhibits a first order thermal phase transition for small quark masses, which changes to a smooth crossover for some critical quark mass m^c_0, i.e. the chiral critical point.…

QCD at a finite quark-number chemical potential $\mu$ has a complex fermion determinant, which precludes its study by standard lattice QCD simulations. We therefore simulate lattice QCD at finite $\mu$ in the phase-quenched approximation,…

We summarize our recent results for the (T,mu)-phase diagram of N_f=3 QCD. Finding a strong variation of the critical endpoint mu_c with the quark mass m, we point out that an endpoint within reach of experiment requires fine-tuned quark…

We discuss the phase structure of QCD for $N_f=2$ and $N_f=2+1$ dynamical quark flavours at finite temperature and baryon chemical potential. It emerges dynamically from the underlying fundamental interactions between quarks and gluons in…

We propose a new method to investigate the thermal properties of QCD with a small chemical potential $(\mu)$. The derivatives of the phase transition point with respect to $\mu$ are computed for 2 flavors of p4-improved staggered fermions.…

We present results of a simulation of 2-flavor QCD on a 4x16^3 lattice using p4-improved staggered fermions with bare quark mass m/T=0.4. Derivatives of the thermodynamic grand canonical partition function Z(V,T,mu_u,mu_d) with respect to…

We propose a new method to investigate the thermal properties of QCD with a small quark chemical potential $\mu$. Derivatives of the phase transition point with respect to $\mu$ are computed at $\mu=0$ for 2 flavors of p-4 improved…

We analyze the phase diagram of QCD with two massless quark flavors in the space of temperature, T, and chemical potential of the baryon charge, mu, using available experimental knowledge of QCD, insights gained from various models, as well…

The existence of the QCD critical point at non-zero baryon density is not only of great interest for experimental physics but also a challenge for the theory. Any hint of the existence of the first order phase transition and, particularly,…

We present numerical results for the location of the chiral critical line at finite temperature and zero and non-zero baryon density for QCD with N_f=2+1 flavours of staggered fermions on lattices with temporal extent N_t=4. For degenerate…

We revisit the determination of the pseudo-critical line of QCD with four degenerate quarks at non-zero temperature and baryon density by the method of analytic continuation. We determine the pseudo-critical couplings at imaginary chemical…
