Description
Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory describing the interactions of quarks and gluons, is not amenable to an analytic solution but can be studied numerically via large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. We show why and how the particular question we posed, regarding the existence of a QCD chiral critical point, can be studied efficiently on the Grid.
