Quark Mass and Flavour Dependence of the QCD Phase Transition
F. Karsch, E. Laermann, A. Peikert
We analyze the quark mass and flavour dependence of the QCD phase transition temperature. When the lightest pseudo-scalar meson mass (m_PS) is larger than 2 GeV the critical temper…
Deconfinement Through Chiral Transition In 2 Flavour QCD
S. Digal, E. Laermann, H. Satz
We propose that in QCD with dynamical quarks, colour deconfinement occurs when an external field induced by the chiral condensate strongly aligns the Polyakov loop. This effect set…
Flavor and Quark Mass Dependence of QCD Thermodynamics
F. Karsch, E. Laermann, A. Peikert +2
We calculate the transition temperature in 2 and 3-flavor QCD using improved gauge and staggered fermion actions on lattices with temporal extent Nt=4. We find Tc=173(8)MeV and 154…
QCD Thermodynamics with 2 and 3 Quark Flavors
F. Karsch, E. Laermann, A. Peikert +2
We discuss the flavor dependence of the pressure and critical temperature calculated in QCD with 2, 2+1 and 3 flavors using improved gauge and staggered fermion actions on lattices…
Deconfinement through Chiral Symmetry Restoration in Two-Flavour QCD
S. Digal, E. Laermann, H. Satz
We propose that in QCD with dynamical quarks, colour deconfinement occurs when an external field induced by the chiral condensate strongly aligns the Polyakov loop. This effect set…
The Pressure in 2, 2+1 and 3 Flavour QCD
F. Karsch, E. Laermann, A. Peikert
We calculate the pressure in QCD with two and three light quarks on a lattice of size 16^3x4 using tree level improved gauge and fermion actions. We argue that for temperatures T >…
