Deconfinement from action restriction

Deconfinement from action restriction

The effect of restricting the plaquette to be greater than a certain cutoff value is studied. The action considered is the standard Wilson action with the addition of a plaquette restriction, which should not affect the continuum limit of the theory. In this investigation, the strong coupling limit is also taken. It is found that a deconfining phase transition occurs as the cutoff is increased,...

Understanding Confinement From Deconfinement

We use effective magnetic SU(N) pure gauge theory with cutoff M and fixed gauge coupling gm to calculate non-perturbative magnetic properties of the deconfined phase of SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. We obtain the response to an external closed loop of electric current by reinterpreting and regulating the calculation of the one loop effective potential in Yang-Mills theory. This effective potential g...

From Entropy and Jet Quenching to Deconfinement?

The challenge of demonstrating that the matter produced in heavy ion collisions is a deconfined quark-gluon plasma, as predicted by lattice QCD calculations, is the challenge of measuring the number of thermodynamic degrees of freedom ν ∼ ε/T 4 at the time t0 at which the matter comes into approximate local thermal equilibrium and begins to behave like a hydrodynamic fluid. Data from experiment...

Deconfinement 1 Elliptic Flow

This is an attempt to summarize the talks given at the session on Deconfinement in the Conference “Quark Confinement and hadron spectrum”. This talk covers the following topics: Elliptic flow and evidence of nearly perfect fluid of the created matter; High Transverse momentum production, propagation of jets and energy loss; Heavy quarqonia in dense QCD matter; Phase transition, Multiplicity flu...
