QCD at finite chemical potential with six time slices
Abstract
We investigate the Taylor expansion of the baryon number susceptibility, and hence, pressure, in a series in the baryon chemical potential (muB) through a lattice simulation with light dynamical staggered quarks at a finer lattice cutoff a=1/6T. We determine the QCD cross over coupling at muB=0. We find the radius of convergence of the series at various temeperatures, and bound the location of the QCD critical point to be TE/Tc = 0.94 and muBE/T < 1.8. We also investigate the extrapolation of various susceptibilities and linkages to finite chemical potential.
