Screening at finite temperature and density
نویسنده
چکیده
We present lattice QCD results on heavy quark free energies, extract from its temperature dependence entropy and internal energy contributions, and discuss the onset of medium effects that lead to screening of static quark-antiquark sources in a thermal medium. Most results are obtained in (2+1)-flavour QCD on a line of constant physics with almost realistic quark masses and compared to previous results from 2-flavor QCD as well as pure gauge theory. Furthermore, we discuss results on the density dependence of screening masses that have been obtained using a leading order Taylor expansion in the baryon chemical potential.

Calculation of Thermodynamic Properties of the Quasi-one Dimensional Liquid 3He at Finite Temperature
We have used a variational approach to calculate some thermodynamic properties of the quasi-one dimensional liquid 3He such as the energy, entropy, free energy, equation of state and heat capacity at finite temperature. We have employed the Lennard-Jones potential as the inter-atomic interaction. We have seen that the total energy increases by increasing both temperature and density....
متن کاملQuark Confinement in Unusual Environments
We consider the properties of l-dimensional gauge field-theories at finite temperatures and densities. The massive Schwinger model in the presence of a uniform charge background is shown to form a Wigner crystal which Debye screens charged impurities. The two species Schwinger model with oppositely charged fermions is studied at finite baryon density. This system does not undergo a phase transi...
متن کاملVariational Calculations for the Relativistic Interacting Fermion System at Finite Temperature: Application to Liquid 3He
In this paper, at first we have formulated the lowest order constrained variational method for the relativistic case of an interacting fermion system at finite temperature. Then we have used this formalism to calculate some thermodynamic properties of liquid in the relativistic regime. The results show that the difference between total energies of relativistic and non-relativistic cases of liqu...
متن کاملHeavy quark free energies and screening at finite temperature and density
We study the free energies of heavy quarks calculated from Polyakov loop correlation functions in full 2-flavour QCD using the p4-improved staggered fermion action. A small but finite baryon number density is included via Taylor expansion of the fermion determinant in the baryo-chemical potential µ. For temperatures above T c we extract Debye screening masses from the large distance behaviour o...
متن کاملQCD thermodynamics at finite density
Recent progress in extending finite temperature lattice QCD simulations from the T axis into the finite density plane is reviewed. The covered topics are a calculation of the transition line by multidimensional reweighting, screening mass calculations in dimensionally reduced QCD and simulations at imaginary μ.
متن کاملFinite-temperature Screening and the Specific Heat of Doped Graphene Sheets
At low energies, electrons in doped graphene sheets are described by a massless Dirac fermion Hamiltonian. In this work we present a semi-analytical expression for the dynamical density-density linear-response function of noninteracting massless Dirac fermions (the so-called “Lindhard” function) at finite temperature. This result is crucial to describe finite-temperature screening of interactin...
