Description
A recent suggestion for finding the QCD critical endpoint [arXiv:2410.16206]
is to investigate entropy contours on the QCD phase diagram. We generalize this
idea to other lines of constant observables, like that of strangeness
susceptibility. Such quantities can not be directly calculated in lattice QCD
because of the infamous sign problem. We present an analytical continuation of
various contours from vanishing and imaginary chemical potentials. This way we
can constrain possible locations of the QCD critical endpoint. We use 4stout
lattices with a large volume which are tuned for strangeness neutrality.
