Two-flavor QCD Thermodynamics using Anisotropic Lattices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Numerical simulations of full QCD on anisotropic lattices provide a convenient way to study QCD thermodynamics with fixed physics scales and reduced lattice spacing errors. We report results from calculations with two flavors of dynamical staggered fermions, where all bare parameters and the renormalized anisotropy are kept constant and the temperature is changed in small steps by varying only the number of time slices. Including results from zero-temperature scale setting simulations, which determine the Karsch coefficients, allows for the calculation of the equation of state at finite temperatures.

Anisotropic Lattices and Dynamical Fermions ∗
We report results from full QCD calculations with two flavors of dynamical staggered fermions on anisotropic lattices. The physical anisotropy as determined from spatial and temporal masses, their corresponding dispersion relations, and spatial and temporal Wilson loops is studied as a function of the bare gauge anisotropy and the bare velocity of light appearing in the Dirac operator. The anis...
متن کاملDynamical Fermions on Anisotropic Lattices
We report on our study of two-flavor full QCD on anisotropic lattices using O(a)-improved Wilson quarks coupled with an RG-improved glue. The bare gauge and quark anisotropies corresponding to the renormalized anisotropy ξ = as/at = 2 are determined as functions of β and κ, using the Wilson loop and the meson dispersion relation at several lattice cutoffs and quark masses.
متن کاملFlavor and Quark Mass Dependence of QCD Thermodynamics
We calculate the transition temperature in 2 and 3-flavor QCD using improved gauge and staggered fermion actions on lattices with temporal extent Nτ = 4. We find Tc = 173 (8) MeV and 154 (8) MeV for nf = 2 and 3, respectively. In the case of 3-flavor QCD we present evidence that the chiral critical point, i.e. the second order endpoint of the line of first order chiral phase transitions, belong...

Numerical simulations of full QCD on anisotropic lattices provide a convenient way to study QCD thermo-dynamics with fixed physics scales and reduced lattice spacing errors. We report results from calculations with 2-flavors of dynamical fermions where all bare parameters and hence the physics scales are kept constant while the temperature is changed in small steps by varying only the number of...
متن کاملImproved Quark Actions for Lattice Qcd
In the last few years it has become clear that there are a variety of gluon actions that give accurate results on coarse lattices (a = 0.2 − 0.4 fm); see various contributions to Lattice 96. Such actions have been constructed within the Symanzik improvement program, eliminating O(a) errors using tadpole improvement 2 at treeand at one-loop level, as well as within the MCRG (or “perfect action”)...
