Static quark anti-quark free and internal energy in 2-flavor QCD

Abstract

We study the change in free and internal energy due to the presence of a heavy quark anti-quark pair in a thermal heat bath in QCD with 2-flavors of staggered quarks at finite temperature. We discuss string breaking below as well as screening above the transition. Similarities and differences to the quenched case are discussed.
