Heavy Quark Free Energies and Screening in Su(2) Gauge Theory *
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate the singlet, triplet and colour average heavy quark free energies in SU (2) pure gauge theory at various temperatures T. We focus on the long distance behaviour of the free energies, studying in particular the temperature dependence of the string tension and the screening masses. The results are qualitatively similar to the SU (3) scenario, except near the critical temperature Tc of the deconfining transition. Finally we test a recently proposed method to renormalize the Polyakov loop.

Free energies of heavy quarks in full-QCD lattice simulations with Wilson-type quark action
The free energy between a static quark and an antiquark is studied by using the color-singlet Polyakov-line correlation at finite temperature in lattice QCD with 2+1 flavors of improved Wilson quarks. From the simulations on 323 × 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 lattices in the high temperature phase, based on the fixed scale approach, we find that, the heavy-quark free energies at short distance converge to t...
متن کاملFree Energies of Static Three Quark Systems
We study the behaviour of free energies of baryonic systems composed of three heavy quarks on the lattice in SU(3) pure gauge theory at finite temperature. For all temperatures above Tc we find that the connected part of the singlet (decuplet) free energy of the three quark system is given by the sum of the connected parts of the free energies of qq-triplets (-sextets). Using renormalized free ...
متن کاملScreening at finite temperature and density
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 previou...
متن کامل2 0 1 Zero density heavy quark SU ( 2 ) gauge theory and the Stefan - Boltzmann limit
SU(2) lattice gauge theory is investigated where the traces of the Wilson lines at any lattice point and along each direction is constrained to zero. Hence, each of the lattice configurations possesses a vanishing density of heavy (anti-) quarks. The results are compared with those of pure SU(2) gauge theory which can be interpreted as the grand canonical realization of the heavy quark theory w...
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...
