Abstract: (Elsevier)
The fermion contribution to the energy density of SU(2) lattice QCD is calculated in the quenched approximation for Wilson fermions as a function of temperature. The technique employed is a high order hopping parameter expansion. We find that the deconfinement temperature is - essentially independent of the quark mass - the same as that earlier determined for the pure gauge field part of SU(2) lattice QCD. The critical hopping parameter is estimated from the convergence radius of 〈 ψ ψ〉 . At least for SU(2), the quantity 〈 ψ ψ〉 shows no drastic change in behaviour indicating the exact position of a chiral phase transition.
