Developments in Finite Temperature QCD on the Lattice with Dynamical Quarks
نویسندگان
چکیده
I report on some recent developments in nonperturbative studies of finite temperature QCD with dynamical quarks on the lattice. I discuss new studies of improved lattice actions and their application to finite temperature QCD. I also summarize the status of lattice investigations about the order of the finite temperature QCD transition for the case of two flavors of degenerate light quarks, using both staggered and Wilson lattice fermions.

An Introduction to Finite Temperature Quantum Chromodynamics on the Lattice∗)
In these lectures, we introduce finite temperature QCD on the lattice to nonexperts of the subject. We first formulate lattice QCD both at zero and finite temperatures. Then a section is devoted to the topic of improved lattice actions which are becoming an essential ingredient of precision studies of QCD on the lattice. We then discuss about finite temperature SU(3) gauge theory, i.e. QCD with...
متن کاملStatus of Lattice QCD at Finite Temperature
The status of lattice QCD investigations at high temperature is reviewed. After a short introduction into thermal QCD on the lattice we report on the present understanding of the phase diagram and the equation of state, in particular in presence of dynamical quarks. We continue with a discussion of various screening lengths in the plasma phase including results from dimensionally reduced QCD. T...
متن کاملLattice determination of the critical point of QCD at finite T and μ
Based on universal arguments it is believed that there is a critical point (E) in QCD on the temperature (T) versus chemical potential (µ) plane, which is of extreme importance for heavy-ion experiments. Using finite size scaling and a recently proposed lattice method to study QCD at finite µ we determine the location of E in QCD with n f =2+1 dynamical staggered quarks with semi-realistic mass...
متن کاملHadron spectroscopy from lattice QCD
I present recent developments in the lattice QCD calculations of the light hadron spectrum. Emphasis is placed on the limitation of the quenched approximation in reproducing the observed spectrum and indications that the discrepancy is reduced by introducing two flavors of light dynamical quarks.
متن کاملFinite temperature phase transition of two-flavor QCD with an improved Wilson quark action
We study the phase structure of QCD at finite temperatures with two flavors of dynamical quarks on a lattice with the size N3 s ×Nt = 163×4, using a renormalization group improved gauge action and a clover improved Wilson quark action. The simulations are made along the lines of constant physics determined in terms of mPS/mV at zero-temperature. We show prelimnary results for the spatial string...
