Critical point influenced by Bose-Einstein condensation

A system of bosons studied within the mean field framework has two fascinating phenomena: a liquid-gas first order phase transition and Bose-Einstein condensation. Interplay between these two phenomena is being investigated. Depending on the mean-field potential parameters one can observe two types of critical points, called "Boltzmann" and "Bose", that belong to different universality classes with distinct sets of critical exponents. As examples of Bose and Boltzmann CPs pion and $α$ matter are considered, respectively. In general, the phase diagram can have one of the CPs or both of them.

Critical point and Bose-Einstein condensation in pion matter

The Bose-Einstein condensation and the liquid-gas first order phase transition are studied in the interacting pion matter. Two phenomenological models are used: the mean-field model and the hybrid model. Free model parameters are fixed by fitting the lattice QCD data on the pion Bose condensate density at zero temperature. In spite of some minor differences the two model demonstrate an identical qualitative and very close quantitative behavior for the thermodynamic functions and electric charge fluctuations. A peculiar property of the considered models is an intersection of the Bose-Einstein condensation line and the line of the first order phase transition at the critical end point.
