Abstract:
We propose a new method to investigate the thermal properties of QCD with a small chemical potential (μ)(\mu). The derivatives of the phase transition point with respect to μ\mu are computed for 2 flavors of p4-improved staggered fermions. We moreover comment on the complex phase of the fermion determinant in finite-density QCD.
