Abstract: (Elsevier B.V.)
The behaviour of the deconfinement order parameter, the susceptibility, the correlation length and the energy density of the SU(2) Yang-Mills system is studied in the neighbourhood of the deconfinement transition on large lattices (183 × 3,4,5 and 163 × 4,5,6). We check the critical exponents both below and above the transition by fits including corrections-to-scaling terms and find very good agreement with the universality predictions from the Z2 spin system. With the predicted exponent β as input, precise values for the critical temperature are found; they are confirmed by the energy density results.- GAUGE FIELD THEORY: SU(2)
