Finite temperature QCD with $N_f=2+1+1$ Wilson twisted mass fermions at physical pion, strange and charm masses

Abstract

We discuss recent progress in studying Quantum Chromodynamics at finite temperature using $N_f=2+1+1$ Wilson twisted mass fermions. Particular interest is in QCD symmetries and their breaking and restoration. First, we discuss the behaviour of the ${\eta }^{\prime }$ meson at finite temperature, which is tightly connected to the axial and chiral symmetries. The results suggest a small decrease of the ${\eta }^{\prime }$ mass in the pseudo-critical region coming close to the non-anomalous contribution and subsequent growth at large temperatures. Second, we present the first results of lattice simulations of Quantum Chromodynamics with $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass Wilson fermions at physical pion, strange and charm masses. We estimate the chiral pseudo-critical temperatures for different observables. Our preliminary results are consistent with a second order transition in the chiral limit, however other scenarios are not excluded.
