چکیده
We present a full result for the 2+1 flavor QCD equation of state. All the systematics are controlled, the quark masses are set to their physical values, and the continuum extrapolation is carried out. This extends our previous studies [JHEP 0601:089 (2006); 1011:077 (2010)] to even finer lattices and now includes ensembles with Nt = 6, 8, 10, 12 up to Nt = 16. We use a Symanzik improved gauge and a stout-link improved staggered fermion action. Our findings confirm our earlier results. In order to facilitate the direct use of our equation of state we make our tabulated results available for download [33].

Numerical simulations of full QCD on anisotropic lattices provide a convenient way to study QCD thermo-dynamics with fixed physics scales and reduced lattice spacing errors. We report results from calculations with 2-flavors of dynamical fermions where all bare parameters and hence the physics scales are kept constant while the temperature is changed in small steps by varying only the number of...
متن کاملThe QCD equation of state with asqtad staggered fermions
We report on our result for the equation of state (EOS) with a Symanzik improved gauge action and the asqtad improved staggered fermion action at Nt = 4 and 6. In our dynamical simulations with 2+1 flavors we use the inexact R algorithm and here we estimate the finite step-size systematic error on the EOS. Finally we discuss the non-zero chemical potential extension of the EOS and give some pre...
متن کاملThermodynamics using Wilson and Staggered Quarks
Lattice investigations of QCD at finite temperature have contributed considerably to the current understanding of the transition from the hadronic state of matter to the quark gluon plasma and of the physics of the plasma phase. Mainly due to the ever-present limitations of computational power many analyses have been carried out in the pure gauge sector of QCD such that bulk properties of gluon...
متن کاملHeavy baryon mass spectrum from lattice QCD with 2+1 dynamical sea quark flavors
We investigate the mass differences of charm and bottom heavy baryons, using MILC lattice gauge configurations with 2+1 dynamical sea quark flavors. We extend our previous work to three lattice spacings: fine (a≈ 0.09), coarse (a≈ 0.12), and medium-coarse (a≈ 0.15) ensembles. For extrapolations and interpolations, we apply simultaneous quadratic fits and simple linear fits with the full QCD dat...
متن کاملFinal State Interaction Effects in B+→J/ψ π+ Decay
In this research the exclusive decay of is calculated by QCD factorization (QCDF) method and final state interaction (FSI). First, the decay is calculated via QCDF method. The result that is found by using the QCDF method is less than the experimental result. So FSI is considered to solve the decay. For this decay, via the exchange of mesons are chosen for the intermedi...
