Description
The phase diagram of QCD at finite density can be studied both experimentally and by theoretical means.
While, from the experimental point of view, it is possible to obtain information from heavy ion collision experiments, from the theoretical point of view the only possible first-princlple approach are Lattice QCD Montecarlo simulations. Unfortunately, at nonzero baryon density current algorithms are affected by a sign problem.
Nonetheless, in the regime where the baryon chemical potential $\mu_B$ is sufficiently small, it is possible to make predictions for the dependence of the critical temperature $T_c$ on $\mu_B$, that is the so-called "critical line" of QCD. I will discuss our latest results in this regard and compare them with the literature.
