Preliminary QCD phase transition line for 695 MeV dynamical staggered fermions from effective Polyakov line actions

Abstract

We present a phase diagram for SU(3) lattice gauge theory with 695 MeV dynamical staggered fermions, in the plane of temperature and chemical potential, obtained from effective Polyakov line actions. The derivation is via the method of relative weights, and the effective theories are solved at finite chemical potential by mean field theory.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, 1 table; presented at the 34th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory (Lattice 2017), June 18 - 24, 2017, Granada, Spain; to appear in AIP Conference Proceeding
