Non-perturbative contributions to the Polyakov loop above the deconfinement phase transition

  • 1. Departamento de Fisica Moderna, Universidad de Granada, 18071-Granada (Spain)

Description

The Polyakov loop is an order parameter to the confinement-deconfinement phase transition in pure gluodynamics. Recently a simple phenomenological model has been proposed to describe the available lattice data for the renormalized Polyakov loop in the deconfinement phase. These data exhibit unequivocal inverse power temperature corrections driven by a dimension two gluon condensate. The heavy quark free energy is also studied and compared to lattice data. (authors)

Notes
12 refs., 2 figs. The XVIIIth International Conference on Ultrarelativistic Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions - known as Quark Matter - was held between August 4 and August 9, 2005 in Budapest, Hungary. The works selected from two sections, namely: Section I - New Results from p-p, p(d)-A and A-A collisions, Section VII - Quark Gluon Plasma, QCD and High Temperature were proposed for publication in Romanian Reports in Physics
