Equation of state for two-flavor QCD with an improved Wilson quark action at non-zero chemical potential

Abstract

The QCD thermodynamics on the lattice provides fundamental theoretical grounds to analyze the various experimental data in relativistic heavy ion collisions. So far, most of the numerical simulations on the lattice have been performed by using the staggered-type fermion actions. Therefore it is important to carry out studies using different fermion formulations to test the uncertainties of the lattice QCD results. For this purpose, we perform systematic simulations of two-flavor QCD with an improved Wilson quark action to investigate the equation of state. We report the current status of our project and show the preliminary results of the Taylor expansion coefficients of the thermodynamic grand partition function in terms of chemical potential.
