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…

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…

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 >…

The flavour and quark mass dependence of thermodynamic quantities in lattice QCD

F. Karsch, E. Laermann, A. Peikert

The dependence of thermodynamic properties of QCD on the number of quark flavours is investigated. Lattice results for the equation of state are presented for 2, 2+1 and 3 quark fl…

The three flavour chiral phase transition with an improved quark and gluon action in lattice QCD

F. Karsch, E. Laermann, A. Peikert +1

The finite-temperature chiral phase transition is investigated for three flavours of staggered quarks on a lattice of temporal extent N_t=4. In the simulation we use an improved fe…
