Abstract
A Monte Carlo study of the three-dimensional 4-state chiral clock model was performed. For values of the chiral parameter ∆ close to 0.5 the Monte Carlo results were consistent with those obtained by low temperature series expansion. However, for ∆ near 0.2 the computer simulations revealed the existence of a new type of chiral phase.
