A remarkable progress has been made in the understanding of the hot and dense QCD matter using lattice gauge theory. The issues which are very well understood as well those which require both conceptual as well as algorithmic advances are highlighted. The recent lattice results on QCD thermodynamics which are important in the context of the heavy ion experiments are reviewed. Instances of greater synergy between the lattice theory and the experiments in the recent years are discussed where lattice results could be directly used as benchmarks for experiments and results from the experiments would be a crucial input for lattice computations.

The paper

Original abstract

A remarkable progress has been made in the understanding of the hot and dense QCD matter using lattice gauge theory. The issues which are very well understood as well those which require both conceptual as well as algorithmic advances are highlighted. The recent lattice results on QCD thermodynamics which are important in the context of the heavy ion experiments are reviewed. Instances of greater synergy between the lattice theory and the experiments in the recent years are discussed where lattice results could be directly used as benchmarks for experiments and results from the experiments would be a crucial input for lattice computations.

To find it, from the theoretical point of view, lattice calculations have been extended to finite chemical potential by Taylor expansions or Fourier expansion of the grand canonical partition function, locating the CEP in the region $(μ^CEP/T_c,T^CEP/T_c)∼(1-1.4,0.9-0.95)$ [ref] .

This value is close around the extensions of lattice QCD, which reports the CEP location in the range $(μ^CEP/T_c,T^CEP/T_c)∼(1.0-1.4,0.9-0.95)$ [ref] and at the upper limit of calculations with effective models where $(μ^CEP/T_c,T^CEP/T_c)∼(1.0-2.0,0.4-0.8)$ [ref] .

The radius of convergence after finite volume correction is $μ_B/T_E=1.7(1)$ [ref] , which means $μ_B=246(15)$MeV at the critical end-point if we choose $T_c=154$MeV.

This gives five different independent estimates of the radius of convergence upto $r_6$, which were shown to be consistent within errors for $N_τ=4,6,8$ at $T_E=0.94(1) T_c$ [ref] .

For this entire range of temperature, there is a useful parameterization characterizing the trace anomaly [ref] with the following parametric form, [equation] where the best fit parameters are [equation] This parametric form could be a useful input for the hydrodynamical simulations, which usually uses the lattice EoS before hadronization and that from the HRG after the freezeout of hadrons.
