Abstract

We obtain the baryon number density, n, and the excess contribution to the pressure, \mathrm\ensuremathΔP, at finite chemical potential, \ensuremathμB, and temperature, T, by resumming the Taylor series expansion in a lattice computation with lattice spacing of 1/(4T) and two flavors of quarks at three different quark masses. The method proceeds by giving a critical \ensuremathμB and limits on the critical exponent, and permits reliable estimations of the errors in resummed quantities. We find that n and \mathrm\ensuremathΔP are insensitive to the quark mass. We also report the bulk isothermal compressibility, \ensuremathκ, over a range of T and \ensuremathμB.
