Thermal lattice QCD results from the FASTSUM collaboration

Chris Allton, Gert Aarts, M. Naeem Anwar +12

The FASTSUM Collaboration has developed a comprehensive research programme in thermal lattice QCD using 2+1 flavour ensembles. We review our recent hadron spectrum analyses of open…

The NRQCD spectrum at non-zero temperature using Backus-Gilbert regularisations

Antonio Smecca, Gert Aarts, Chris Allton +10

Understanding how the properties of heavy mesons change as temperature increases is crucial for gaining valuable insights into the quark-gluon plasma. Information about meson masse…

Pion magnetic polarisability using the background field method

Ryan Bignell, Waseem Kamleh, Derek Leinweber

The magnetic polarisability is a fundamental property of hadrons, which provides insight into their structure in the low-energy regime. The pion magnetic polarisability is calculat…

Centre vortex evidence for a second finite-temperature QCD transition

Jackson A. Mickley, Chris Allton, Ryan Bignell +1

Evidence for the existence of a second finite-temperature transition in quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is obtained through the study of centre vortex geometry and its evolution with…

Anisotropic excited bottomonia from a basis of smeared operators

Ryan Bignell, Gert Aarts, Chris Allton +9

Bottomonia play a crucial role in our understanding of the quark gluon plasma. We present lattice non-relativistic QCD calculations of bottomonia at temperatures in the range $T \i…

Non-zero temperature study of spin 1/2 charmed baryons using lattice gauge theory

Gert Aarts, Chris Allton, M. Naeem Anwar +4

We study the behaviour of spin charmed baryons as the temperature increases. We make use of anisotropic lattice QCD simulations with dynamical flavours. After d…
