![]() | DeTar, Carleton | f B for various actions: approaching the continuum limit with dynamical fermions | We present results for pseudoscalar decay constants of heavy-light mesons using both quenched and Nf = 2 dynamical fermion configurations. A variety of fermion actions is investigated: Wilson, nonperturbative clover, and fat-link clover. For heavy quarks the Fermilab formalism is applied. In the q... | Decay constants; Wilson fermions | 2001-03 |

![]() | 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 | QCD thermodynamics with an improved lattice action | We have investigated QCD with two flavors of degenerate fermions using the Symanzik-improvement program for both the gauge and fermion actions. Our study focuses on the deconfinement transition on an Nt=4 lattice. Having located the thermal transition, we performed zero temperature simulations nea... | Wilson fermions; Polyakov loop; Chiral symmetry; Phase transitions | 1997-11 |

![]() | DeTar, Carleton | Thermal phase transition in mixed action SU(3) lattice gauge theory and Wilson fermion thermodynamics | We study the thermal phase diagram of pure SU(3) lattice 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. The endpoint of the bulk transitio... | Wilson fermions; Wilson quarks; Phase transitions; Demon algorithms | 1995-05 |
