Thermodynamics and heavy-quark free energies at finite temperature and density with two flavors of improved Wilson quarks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thermodynamics of two-flavor QCD at finite temperature and density is studied on a 163 ×4 lattice, using a renormalization group improved gauge action and the clover improved Wilson quark action. In the simulations along lines of constant mPS/mV, we calculate the Taylor expansion coefficients of the heavy-quark free energy with respect to the quark chemical potential (μq) up to the second order. By comparing the expansion coefficients of the free energies between quark(Q) and antiquark(Q̄), and between Q and Q, we find a characteristic difference at finite μq due to the first order coefficient of the Taylor expansion. We also calculate the quark number and isospin susceptibilities, and find that the second order coefficient of the quark number susceptibility shows enhancement around the pseudo-critical temperature.

Free energies of heavy quarks in full-QCD lattice simulations with Wilson-type quark action
The free energy between a static quark and an antiquark is studied by using the color-singlet Polyakov-line correlation at finite temperature in lattice QCD with 2+1 flavors of improved Wilson quarks. From the simulations on 323 × 12, 10, 8, 6, 4 lattices in the high temperature phase, based on the fixed scale approach, we find that, the heavy-quark free energies at short distance converge to t...

Polyakov loop correlations at finite temperature in two-flavor QCD are studied in lattice simulations with the RG-improved gluon action and the clover-improved Wilson quark action. From the simulations on a 163 × 4 lattice , we extract the free energies, the effective running coupling geff(T ) and the Debye screening mass mD(T ) for various color channels of heavy quark−quark and quark−anti-qua...

We report the current status of our systematic studies of the QCD thermodynamics by lattice QCD simulations with two flavors of improved Wilson quarks. We evaluate the critical temperature of two flavor QCD in the chiral limit at zero chemical potential and show the preliminary result. Also we discuss fluctuations at none-zero temperature and density by calculating the quark number and isospin ...

We study the free energies of heavy quarks calculated from Polyakov loop correlation functions in full 2-flavour QCD using the p4-improved staggered fermion action. A small but finite baryon number density is included via Taylor expansion of the fermion determinant in the baryo-chemical potential µ. For temperatures above T c we extract Debye screening masses from the large distance behaviour o...

The nature of finite temperature transitions in lattice QCD with Wilson quarks is studied near the chiral limit for the cases of 2, 3, and 6 flavors of degenerate quarks (N F = 2, 3, and 6) and also for the case of massless up and down quarks and a light strange quark (N F = 2+1). Our simulations mainly performed on lattices with the temporal direction extension N t = 4 indicate that the finite...
