Scaling of Chiral Order Parameter in Two-Flavor QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
The finite temperature transition of QCD with two degenerate light quarks is studied on the lattice with a renormalization group improved gauge action and the Wilson quark action. We have made simulations on an 8 3 × 4 lattice near the chiral transition point. It is shown that the chiral condensate which is the order parameter of chiral symmetry satisfies remarkably a scaling relation with the exponents of the three dimensional O(4) Heisenberg model. This indicates that the chiral transition in two-flavor QCD is of second order in the continuum limit.

Second-order scaling in the two-flavor QCD chiral transition.
Scaling behavior is analyzed for the two-flavor QCD lattice gauge theory chiral transition. Leading scaling behavior and correction to leading scaling from lattice spacing effects are examined for the quark condensate. Scaling predictions under the assumption of quark mass dominance are tested for the longitudinal correlation length. Second order scaling behavior is consistent with present data...

We investigate the finite-temperature phase structure and the scaling of the chiral condensate in lattice QCD with two degenerate light quarks, using a renormalization group improved gauge action and the Wilson quark action. We obtain a phase diagram which is consistent with that from the parity-flavor breaking scenario. The scaling relation for the chiral condensate assuming the critical expon...
متن کاملSusceptibilities, the specific heat, and a cumulant in two-flavor QCD.
We study the quark mass dependence of various response functions, which contribute to chiral susceptibilities and the specific heat in the staggered fermion formulation of two-flavour QCD. This yields information about the critical exponents α, β and δ. In the case of the chiral susceptibility, obtained as derivative of the chiral order parameter with respect to the quark mass, we calculate all...
متن کاملThe phase boundary for the QCD transition at small chemical potentials
In a recent work [1] we have shown that the curvature of the phase transition line in the chiral limit can be obtained from an analysis of the universal scaling properties of a certain mixed susceptibility (χm,q) which is defined by the leading order Taylor expansion coefficient of the chiral condensate with respect to the light quark chemical potential. Numerical calculations have been perform...
متن کاملMicroscopic Universality and the Chiral Phase Transition in two Flavor QCD
are examined. We consider temperatures below, near, and above the critical temperature Tc for the chiral phase transition. Below and above Tc the statistics are in agreement with the exact analytical predictions in the microscopic scaling regime. Above Tc we observe a gap in the spectral density and a distribution compatible with the Airy distribution. Near Tc the eigenvalue correlations appear...
