Finite size scaling for 4-flavor QCD with finite chemical potential    [PDF]

Shinji Takeda, Xiao-Yong Jin, Yoshinobu Kuramashi, Yoshifumi Nakamura, Akira Ukawa
We explore the phase diagram spanned by the temperature and the chemical potential for 4-flavor QCD by the phase-reweighting approach. In order to determine the order of phase transition, we perform finite size scaling studies for various quantities, for example, susceptibility, kurtosis and Challa-Landau-Binder cumulant. At the parameter (beta=1.60, kappa=0.1371, c_sw=1.9655 and N_T=4), where the Kentucky group reported a first-order phase transition in their canonical simulation, we observe that the transition is consistent with being of first order.
