![]() | DeTar, Carleton | Equation of state and QCD transition at finite temperature | We calculate the equation of state in 2 + 1 flavor QCD at finite temperature with physical strange quark mass and almost physical light quark masses using lattices with temporal extent Nr = 8. Calculations have been performed with two different improved staggered fermion actions, the asqtad and p4 a... | Deconfinement; Chiral symmetry; Staggered fermions; Phase transitions; Polyakov loop | 2009-07 |

![]() | DeTar, Carleton | Finite temperature QCD: progress and outstanding problems | I review recent progress in numerical simulations of finite temperature quantum chromodynamics and discuss the status of some outstanding problems. Included is (1) a discussion of recent results determining the temperature of the "phase transition" in full QCD, (2) a scaling analysis of the Polyakov... | Phase transitions; Staggered fermions; Wilson fermions; Polyakov loop; Deconfinement; Instanton | 1995-04 |

![]() | DeTar, Carleton | Measuring the hadronic spectrum of the quark plasma | In an effort to characterize the large-scale structure and composition of the Q C D plasma at zero baryon-number density in the vicinity of the high-temperature phase transition, we have carried out a numerical simulation in SU(3) lattice gauge theory with four flavors of low-mass staggered fermions... | Quark plasma; Gluon plasma; Hadronic matter; Deconfinement; Chiral symmetry; Phase transitions | 1987-11 |

![]() | DeTar, Carleton | Pseudodeconfinement and dynamical confinement in the quark plasma | We elaborate upon phenomenological models of high-temperature hadronic matter at zero baryon density. We discuss the choice of a practical set of "fundamental" degrees of freedom, indicate their relationship to dynamically confined plasma modes, and suggest in what way they may account for the phase... | Quark plasma; Gluon plasma; Hadronic matter; Deconfinement; Glueballs; Mesons; Phase transitions | 1988-04 |

![]() | DeTar, Carleton | Static screening lengths in the gluon plasma | We report results of an extensive numerical simulation in lattice gauge theory to study various static screening lengths in a finite-temperature pure gluon plasma. Measurements are made for fixed triplet charges (Wilson lines) and a variety of local operators near and above the phase transition for ... | Gluon plasma; Phase transitions; Deconfinement; Strange quarks | 1986-10 |

![]() | DeTar, Carleton | SU(3) lattice gauge theory with adjoint action at nonzero temperature | We study the thermal phase diagram of pure SU(3) gauge theory with fundamental and adjoint couplings. We improve previous estimates of the position of the bulk transition line and determine the thermal deconfinement transition lines for Nt = 2,4,6, and 8. For Nt > 4 the deconfinement transition li... | Phase transitions; Deconfinement | 1995-04 |
