Universal scaling and the asymptotic behaviour of Fourier coefficients of the baryon-number density in QCD

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

We discuss the scaling of the Yang-Lee singularity (YLs) and show how the universal scaling can be used to locate phase transitions in QCD. We describe two complementary methods to extract the location of the Yang-Lee singularity from lattice QCD data of the baryon-number density and higher order cumulants of the baryon number, obtained at imaginary chemical potential. The first method (multi-point Pade resummation) is used to determine the Roberge-Weiss phase transition temperature. Our continuum extrapolated result is TRW=211.1±3.1 MeV. The second method is based on the asymptotic behaviour of the Fourier coefficients of the baryon-number density. We discuss the derivation of a fitting function and demonstrate that the procedure can successfully locate the YLs in the Quark Meson model.
