Combine Taylor expansion and imaginary chemical potential : • Slope of the (pseudo)critical line • Precision thermodynamics • Control of the convergence of the m series • How do(es) the critical point(s) affect the convergence of the series (R. Gavai, M. Stephanov, M. Wagner talks) • Physics around the kinetic/chemical freezout MpL xQCD2010
