Finite temperature QCD with two flavors of nonperturbatively improved Wilson fermions
Abstract
We study QCD with two flavors of nonperturbatively improved Wilson fermions at finite temperature on the 1638 lattice. We determine the transition temperature at lattice spacing as small as a∼0.12 fm, and study string breaking below the finite temperature transition. We find that the static potential can be fitted by a two-state ansatz, including a string state and a two-meson state. We investigate the role of Abelian monopoles at finite temperature.
