Description
Finite density and temperature QCD with heavy quarks is studied
in the complex chemical potential ($¥mu$) plane by use of a mean field method and Monte Carlo simulations, where the former applies to the strong coupling region.
We calculate the effective potential as a function of Polyakov line, and study thermodynamic singularities and their associated Stokes lines in the complex $¥mu$ plane.
We also perform an explicit analytic continuation of the first order transition and crossover lines appearing on the real $¥mu$ axis in the strong coupling region.
