Abstract

We present results from simulations of two color QCD with two Wilson quark flavors in the presence of a quark chemical potential μ at two different lattice spacings. The equation of state, conformal anomaly, superfluid order parameter, and Polyakov line are all discussed. Our results suggest that the transitions from hadronic to quark matter and from confined to deconfined matter occur at distinct values of μ, consistent with the existence of a quarkyonic phase in this model.
