Non - equilibrium signals of the SU ( 3 ) deconfining phase transition

In SU(3) simulations with the model A (Glauber) dynamics we find unambiguous signal for the transition when the (driving) temperature Tf is larger than Tc. A dynamical growth of Polyakov loop structure factors, reaching maxima which scale approximately with the volume of the system, precedes equilibration. We study their influence on various observables, using different lattice sizes to illustrate an approach to a finite volume continuum limit. Strong correlations are found during the dynamical process, but not in the deconfined phase at equilibrium. Debye screening masses mD(Tf ) are estimated from initial response to the temperature change and found to be consistent with equilibrium estimates by Kaczmarek et al.
