Abstract:
Once the quark chemical potential μ\mu is introduced in finite density QCD, the fermion determinant appeared in the path integral measure becomes complex. In order to investigate the phase effect of SU(3) lattice QCD (2-flavors), we calculated the fluctuation of the phase of detΔ(μ)\det\Delta(\mu) on a 83×48^3\times4 lattice at μ=0.1\mu = 0.1 and 0.2. Then we calculated the chiral condensate and Polyakov line in the no phase and reweighted cases. There is little difference between these two cases at μ=0.1\mu = 0.1 and 0.2. We consider a possible reason for this result below μ0.27\mu \le 0.27 in terms of Z3Z_3 symmetry.
