1. Purpose and StrategyPurpose is to determine QCD phase diagram at real chemical potential

1. LQCD has the sign problem at real chemical potential2. Regions with no sign problemI) Imaginary quark-number chemical potentialII) Real and imaginary isospin chemical potentials

3. Our strategy 1) construct reliable effective models in I)-II)

2) apply the model to real quark-number chemical potential.

2. Imaginary chemical potential

Summary

1) We proposed two types of PNJL models. One has higher-order interactions and the other

has an entanglement vertex. 2) Both the models give the same quality of agreement

with LQCD data.3) In both the models, CEP can survive.

Last question: Which model is better ?PNJL with the entanglement vertex is more reliable.

The order is first order for small and large quark masses, but second order for intermediate masses.
