Meson correlators in finite temperature lattice QCD
Aug, 2000Citations per year
Abstract:
We analyze temporal and spatial meson correlators in quenched lattice QCD at T>0. Below T_c we observe little change in the meson properties as compared with T=0. Above T_c we observe new features: chiral symmetry restoration and signals of plasma formation, but also indication of persisting mesonic (metastable) states and different temporal and spatial masses in the mesonic channels. This suggests a complex picture of QGP in the region 1 - 1.5 T_c.- fermion: lattice field theory
- gauge field theory: SU(3)
- approximation: quenching
- finite temperature
- meson: correlation function
- meson: mass spectrum
- symmetry: chiral
- plasma: production
- quark gluon: plasma
- meson: wave function
