Spatial String Tension at High Temperatures and Quantitative Tests of Dimensionally Reduced Effective Theories

Vishal Rao, Peter Petreczky, Prasad Hegde

We calculate the spatial string tension in 2+1 flavour QCD in $(3+1)$ dimensions within a temperature range of $[166\mathrm{MeV},1000\mathrm{MeV}]$ using spatial Wilson loo…
