Thermodynamics of Strong Interaction Matter from Lattice QCD and the Hadron Resonance Gas Model

We review results from lattice QCD calculations on the thermodynamics of strong-interaction matter with emphasis on input these calculations can provide to the exploration of the phase diagram and properties of hot and dense matter created in heavy ion experiments. This review is organized in sections as follows: (1) Introduction, (2) QCD thermodynamics on the lattice, (3) QCD phase diagram at high temperature, (4) Bulk thermodynamics, (5) Fluctuations of conserved charges, (6) Transport properties, (7) Open heavy flavors and heavy quarkonia, (8) QCD in external magnetic fields, (9) Summary.

Computationally Intensive

In the Standard Model, quarks and gluons are permanently confined by the strong interaction into hadronic bound states. The values of the quark masses and the strengths of the decays of one quark flavour into another cannot be measured directly, but must be deduced from experiments on hadrons. This requires calculations of the strong-interaction effects within the bound states, which are only possible using numerical simulations of lattice QCD. These are computationally intensive and, for the past twenty years, have exploited leading-edge computing technology. In conjunction with experimental data from B Factories, over the next few years, lattice QCD may provide clues to physics beyond the Standard Model. These lectures provide a non-technical introduction to lattice QCD, some of the recent results, QCD computers, and the future prospects.

Made In

It has been a natural desire for a long time to be able to describe nuclear physics in terms of the fundamental strong interaction. Recently some significant progress has been made in this area in terms of lattice QCD calculations of simple nuclear physics processes such as nucleon nucleon scattering. An attempt is made to introduce the progress made in this area, to an audience composed mainly of many-body theorists (non-lattice QCD and even non-particle/nuclear physics) interested in inter-disciplinary approaches.

The One

We study the strong interaction potentials of [Formula: see text] up to order [Formula: see text] with the heavy meson chiral perturbation theory. Besides the leading contributions from the contact terms we also consider the one-loop corrections to the contact diagrams and the contributions from the 2ϕ-exchange diagrams. Hopefully, the analytical structures of our result will be helpful in the extrapolation of the relevant heavy meson interaction in the lattice QCD simulation.

Established Technique

AbstractSince Wilson’s seminal papers of the mid-1970s, the lattice approach to Quantum Chromodynamics has become increasingly important for the study of the strong interaction at low energies, and has now turned into a mature and established technique. In spite of the fact that the lattice formulation of Quantum Field Theory has been applied to virtually all fundamental interactions, it is appropriate to discuss this topic in a chapter devoted to QCD, since by far the largest part of activity is focused on the strong interaction. Lattice QCD is, in fact, the only known method which allows ab initio investigations of hadronic properties, starting from the QCD Lagrangian formulated in terms of quarks and gluons.

Sign Problem

We briefly review recent progresses in studying QCD thermodynamics from lattice QCD. Investigation of QCD in zero baryon density shows a rapid cross-over with realistic (u, d, s) quark masses. Various improvements of lattice QCD action leads to more accurate determination of QCD thermodynamic properties. Although simulating QCD in non-zero baryon density is difficult due to "sign problem", steady progress is also achieved.
