Thermodynamics and heavy quark potential in N_f=2 dynamical QCD

arXiv:hep-lat/0209157 · doi:10.1016/S0920-5632(03)01671-2

Abstract

We study N_f=2 lattice QCD with nonperturbatively improved Wilson fermions at finite temperature on 16^3 \cdot 8 lattices. We determine the transition temperature at m_π/m_ρ \sim 0.8 and lattice spacing as small as 0.12fm. The string breaking at T < T_c is also studied. We find that the static potential can be fitted by a simple expression involving string model potential at finite temperature.
