Event details
We explore the QCD phase diagram on the lattice over a large range of chemical potentials and temperatures using the complex Langevin method. For our simulations, we use two flavours of dynamical Wilson fermions with a pion mass of approximately 480 MeV. Here we report on consistency checks at zero chemical potential and present results for the fermion density, the deconfinement transition and the equation of state. We observe that at the lowest temperature the fermion density remains zero up to a third of the nucleon mass, in line with the expectations from the Silver Blaze phenomenon.

About Particle Physics Theory seminars
The Particle Physics Theory seminar is a weekly series of talks reflecting the diverse interests of the group. Topics include analytic and numerical calculations based on the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, theories exploring new physics, as well as more formal developments in gauge theories and gravity..
