Exploring the phase structure of 12-flavor $SU(3)$
2014
We are studying the $SU(3)$ gauge theory with 12 staggered fermions, searching for the endpoint of the line of first-order phase transitions in the mass--beta plane. This endpoint plays an important role in our understanding of the phase diagram of this model. Having found this endpoint with high statistics on a small lattice using unimproved staggered fermions, we are working to find it on larger lattices and with improved actions. For an action improved with nHYP-smeared staggered fermions, we discuss the effect of slowly turning off the improvement on the broken shift symmetry phase.
