The critical surface of the SU(3)L x SU(3)R chiral quark model at non-zero baryon density
Abstract
The boundary of the first order chiral phase transition region is studied in the mpi-mK-muB space using the one-loop optimized perturbation theory for the resummation of the perturbative series. Chiral perturbation theory for mesons and baryons is used for the T=0 parametrization of the model. The surface of second order transition points bends with increasing muB towards the physical point of the mpi-mK mass plane allowing for the existence of the critical end point in the muB-T plane at the physical point. The location and scaling region of the CEP is explored.
