โฆ Synopsis
We determine the location of the second-order end-point of the line of the first-order chiral phase transition in three-flavor QCD at vanishing baryon chemical potential (ยต B ). Using multiparameter reweighting we determine the ยต B -dependence of the transition line. With an ansatz inspired by chiral perturbation theory, we extrapolate to the chiral critical point in (2 + 1)-flavor QCD. For both quantities we find a significant quark mass dependence.

At high baryon number density, it has been proposed that a new phase of QCD matter controls the physics. This matter is confining but can have densities much larger than ฮ 3 QCD . Its existence is argued from large N c approximations, and model computations. It is approximately chirally symmetric.
