abstract

We investigate the chiral phase transition at nonzero temperature $T$ and baryon-chemical potential $\mu_B$ within the framework of the linear sigma model and the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. For small bare quark masses we find in both models a smooth crossover transition for nonzero $T$ and $\mu_B=0$ and a first order transition for T=0 and nonzero $\mu_B$. We calculate explicitly the first order phase transition line and spinodal lines in the $(T,\mu_B)$ plane. As expected they all end in a critical point. We find that, in the linear sigma model, the sigma mass goes to zero at the critical point. This is in contrast to the NJL model, where the sigma mass, as defined in the random phase approximation, does not vanish. We also compute the adiabatic lines in the $(T,\mu_B)$ plane. Within the models studied here, the critical point does not serve as a ``focusing'' point in the adiabatic expansion.

  1. Phenomenology of baryon dynamics with directed flow in relativistic heavy-ion collisions

    nucl-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-component initial baryon deposition model plus hydrodynamics reproduces baryon-antibaryon directed flow splitting across sqrt(sNN) = 7.7 to 200 GeV and yields a model-based baryon diffusion coefficient.

  2. The nucleon properties in finite temperature and density with Gaussian fluctuations

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gaussian fluctuations make the quark meson model predict a non-monotonic nucleon mass and a faster-growing nucleon radius as temperature and density increase.

  3. Neutral pion mass in the linear sigma model coupled to quarks at arbitrary magnetic field

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the linear sigma model with quarks, the neutral pion mass first falls and then rises as the external magnetic field grows, a nonmonotonic curve that the earlier weak-field calculation did not show.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The symmetry-improved CJT formalism yields stable global thermodynamic quantities across different pressure prescriptions in the three-flavor linear sigma model, with quantitative differences near the chiral transition.
