For Nf=2+1 quark flavors with physical masses we determine the Polyakov loop potential at finite temperature and density and extract the location of the deconfinement transition. We find a cross-over at small values of the chemical potential running into a critical end-point at mu/T > 1.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-06-25T16:31:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "finite density", "polyakov loop potential serves", "deconfined quark-gluon plasma phases", "small values", "quark flavors" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1016/j.physletb.2014.03.057", "journal": "Physics Letters B", "year": 2014, "month": "May", "volume": 732, "pages": 273 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1239840, "adsabs": "2014PhLB..732..273F" } } }
