Roberge–Weiss phase transition and QCD phase diagram in the (2 + 1) flavor Polyakov quark meson model
Abstract
The Roberge–Weiss (RW) phase transition of (2 + 1) flavor QCD at imaginary quark chemical potentials (μu,μd,μs)=(i𝜃T,i𝜃T,i𝜃T) is investigated by employing the Polyakov loop extended Quark Meson model (PQM), where T is temperature, and 𝜃 is a dimensionless chemical potential. We calculate some thermodynamic quantities and draw the phase diagram. This work can be considered as a supplement of studying the RW transition by using the effective model.
