β¦ Synopsis
We discuss the equation of state for QCD at non-zero temperature and density.
We present results of a simulation for QCD with 2 flavors of pCimproved staggered fermions. Derivatives of In 2 with respect to quark chemical potential pL4 up to fourth order are calculated, enabling estimates of the pressure, quark number density and associated susceptibilities as functions of pL4 via a Taylor series expansion.
We also discuss the radius of convergence of the expansion as a function of temperature.
It is found that the fluctuations in the quark number density increase in the vicinity of the phase transition temperature and the susceptibilities start to develop a pronounced peak as pa is increased. This suggests the presence of a critical endpoint in the (T, pq) plane.

We report our recent numerical studies on two-color QCD with Wilson fermions. First the phase structure of the system in (n, p)-plane is analyzed by measuring Polyakov line, baryon number density, gluon energy density and Polyakov line susceptibility. Then meson and baryon (di-quark) propagators are
