Description
We explore the phase diagram of 8 flavor QCD by lattice simulations, using a stout improved staggered fermion action and a tree-level Symanzik improved gauge action. At small masses we observe an intermediate phase between the strong coupling and the weak coupling phases, aligning with results from previous studies. We also investigate the effect of adding an imaginary chemical potential.
