Journal ArticleDOI
QCD thermal phase transition in the presence of a small chemical potential
Chris Allton,Chris Allton,Shinji Ejiri,Simon Hands,Simon Hands,Olaf Kaczmarek,Frithjof Karsch,Frithjof Karsch,Edwin Laermann,Christian Schmidt,Luigi Scorzato +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal properties of QCD with a small quark chemical potential were investigated using a 16(3)x4 lattice and the leading order Taylor expansion of the pseudocritical point about mu=0.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermodynamics of two flavor QCD to sixth order in quark chemical potential
Chris Allton,M. Doring,Shinji Ejiri,Simon Hands,Olaf Kaczmarek,Frithjof Karsch,Edwin Laermann,Krzysztof Redlich,Krzysztof Redlich +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results of a simulation of two flavor QCD on a 16{sup 3}x4 lattice using p4-improved staggered fermions with bare quark mass m/T=0.4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equation of state for two flavor QCD at nonzero chemical potential
Chris Allton,Shinji Ejiri,Shinji Ejiri,Simon Hands,Olaf Kaczmarek,Frithjof Karsch,Edwin Laermann,Christian Schmidt +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results of a simulation of QCD on a 16, 3, and 4-dimensional lattice with two continuum flavors of a $p4$-improved staggered fermion with mass $m/T=0.4.$ and derive the thermodynamic grand potential with respect to the quark chemical potential up to fourth order.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral functions at small energies and the electrical conductivity in hot quenched lattice QCD.
TL;DR: It is shown that at finite temperature the most commonly used algorithm, employing Bryan's method, is inherently unstable at small energies and a modification is given that avoids this.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical conductivity of the quark-gluon plasma across the deconfinement transition.
Anthony A. Amato,Anthony A. Amato,Gert Aarts,Chris Allton,Pietro Giudice,Pietro Giudice,Simon Hands,Jon-Ivar Skullerud +7 more
TL;DR: A lattice calculation is presented for the electrical conductivity σ of the QCD plasma with 2+1 dynamical flavors at nonzero temperature and an increase of σ/T across the transition is found.
