STUDY OF QCD CRITICAL POINT USING CANONICAL ENSEMBLE METHOD

QCD at non-zero baryon density is expected to have a critical point where the finite temperature crossover at zero density turns into a first order phase transition. To identify this point, we use the canonical ensemble approach to scan the temperaturedensity plane through lattice QCD simulations wi...
