1 DeTar, CarletonCritical behavior in Nt=4 staggered fermion thermodynamicsQuantum chromodynamics with two zero mass flavors is expected to exhibit a phase transition with O(4) critical behavior. Fixing the universality class is important for phenomenology and for facilitating the extrapolation of simulation data to physical quark mass values. Other groups have reported r...Staggered fermions; Phase transitions; Quark-gluon plasma; Chiral symmetry2000-01
2 DeTar, CarletonEquation of state for two flavor QCD at Nt=6We calculate the two flavor equation of state for QCD on lattices with lattice spacing a=(6T)21 and find that cutoff effects are substantially reduced compared to an earlier study using a=(4T)21. However, it is likely that significant cutoff effects remain. We fit the lattice data to expected forms ...Phase transitions; Quark-gluon plasma; Chiral symmetry1997-06
3 DeTar, CarletonEquation of state for two flavor QCD at Nt=6We calculate the two flavor equation of state for QCD on lattices with lattice spacing a=(6T)21 and find that cutoff effects are substantially reduced compared to an earlier study using a=(4T)21.

4 DeTar, CarletonFirst determination of the strange and light quark masses from full lattice QCDWe compute the strange quark mass ms and the average of the u and d quark masses mˆ using full lattice QCD with three dynamical quarks combined with the experimental values for the rr and K masses. The simulations have degenerate u and d quarks with masses mu=md=mˆ αs low as ms/8, and two diffe...Staggered quarks; Quark-gluon plasma2004-08
5 DeTar, CarletonNt = 6 equation of state for two flavor QCDWe improve the calculation of the equation of state for two flavor QCD by simulating on Nt = 6 lattices at appropriate values of the couplings for the deconfinement/chiral symmetry restoration crossover. For amq = 0.0125 the energy density rises rapidly to approximately 1 GeV/fm3 just after the cro...Kogut-Susskind fermions; Quark-gluon plasma1996-03
6 DeTar, CarletonPotts flux tube model at nonzero chemical potentialWe model the deconfinement phase transition in quantum chromodynamics at nonzero baryon number density and large quark mass by extending the flux tube model ~three-state, three-dimensional Potts model! to nonzero chemical potential. In a direct numerical simulation we confirm mean-field-theory pre...Phase transitions; Quark-gluon plasma; Chemical potential; Potts model2000-03
7 DeTar, CarletonQCD equation of state with 2+1 flavors of improved staggered quarksWe report results for the interaction measure, pressure, and energy density for nonzero-temperature QCD with 2 + 1 flavors of improved staggered quarks. In our simulations, we use a Symanzik improved gauge action and the Asqtad O(a2) improved staggered quark action for lattices with temporal extent ...Staggered quarks; Quark-gluon plasma2007-05
8 DeTar, CarletonQCD thermodynamics with three flavors of improved staggered quarksWe report on a study of QCD thermodynamics with three flavors of quarks, using a Symanzik improved gauge action and the Asqtad O(a2) improved staggered quark action. Simulations were carried out with lattice spacings 1/4T, 1/6T, and 1/8T both for three degenerate quarks with masses less than or equa...Quark-gluon plasma; Staggered quarks; Phase transitions; Polyakov loop2005-02
9 DeTar, CarletonThermodynamics for two flavor QCD*We conclude our analysis of the Nt = 6 equation of state (EOS) for two flavor QCD, first described at last year's conference. We have obtained new runs at amq = 0.025 and improved runs at amq = 0.0125. The results are extrapolated to mq = 0, and we extract the speed of sound as well. We also present...Phase transitions; Quark-gluon plasma; Chiral symmetry1997-02
