Locating the QCD Critical Point Using Holographic Black Holes

Abstract

It has been shown that holographic black holes, constructed to mimic the equation of state of QCD computed on the lattice at finite temperature and zero density, display critical behavior at large baryonic chemical potential. In this proceedings, we discuss the mapping of holographic black holes into the QCD phase diagram and the emergence of the critical point and the first order phase transition line.
