Description
The properties of matter at finite baryon densities plays an
important role for the astrophysics of compact stars as well as for heavy
ion collisions or the description of nuclear matter. Because of the
sign problem of the quark determinant, lattice QCD cannot be
simulated by standard Monte Carlo at finite baryon densities.
I describe an alternative attempt to treat
dense QCD with an effective 3d lattice theory, which is
valid for very heavy quarks only, but shows all qualtitative features
of nuclear physics emerging from QCD. In particular, the nuclear
liquid gas transition and an equation of state for baryons can be directly calculated from QCD.
