Abstract: (APS)
A new method of simulating systems with a complex action which was recently introduced is applied to lattice QCD at finite density. At infinite gauge coupling I obtain a phase diagram which, in nice agreement with mean-field theory, gives a critical value of the chemical potential unrelated to the baryon mass. At the same time we demonstrate explicitly the failure of the quenched approximation.
