Abstract: (Elsevier)
The spatial string tension is calculated in 2+1 flavor QCD with a physical strange quark mass and almost physical light quark masses on lattices with N_t=4,6 and 8. The results are compared with predictions of dimensionally reduced QCD. They sugge st that dimensional reduction works also in the presence of light dynamical quarks down to temperatures of about 1.5T_c.- 12.38.Gc
