Abstract: (Elsevier)
We determine expectation values of Wilson loops and correlations of Polyakov loops on lattices of size 10 × 16 3 and 8 × 16 3 at β values 2.25 and 2.375. Utilizing a recently proposed method to reduce the variance of loop expectation values, we are able to measure loops up to 6 × 6. We find Λ L = 0.0151 ± 0.0006 k at β = 2.375 .
