1 DeTar, CarletonBaryon density correlations in high temperature hadronic matterAs part of an ongoing effort to characterize the high temperature phase of QCD, in a numerical simulation using the staggered fermion scheme, we measure the quark baryon density in the vicinity of a fixed test quark at high temperature and compare it with similar measurements at low temperature and ...Baryon density; Staggered fermions; Quark plasma1994-06
2 DeTar, CarletonCharmed-meson decay constants in three-flavor lattice QCDWe present the first lattice QCD calculation with realistic sea quark content of the D+-meson decay constant fD+. We use the MILC Collaboration's publicly available ensembles of lattice gauge fields, which have a quark sea with two flavors (up and down) much lighter than a third (strange). We obtain...Flavor physics; Charmed meson; Staggered fermions2005-09
3 DeTar, CarletonChiral logs with staggered fermionsWe compute chiral logarithms in the presence of "taste" symmetry breaking of staggered fermions. The lagrangian of Lee and Sharpe is generalized and then used to calculate the logs in π and K masses. We correct an error in Ref. [1]; the issue turns out to have implications for the comparison with ...Staggered fermions; Chiral logs2003-05
4 DeTar, CarletonCritical behavior at the chiral phase transitionIt is generally expected that two-flavor QCD undergoes a high temperature chiral symmetry restoring phase transition at zero quark mass, with O(4) critical behavior[1]. Verifying this expectation is important for understanding the phenomenology of the transition and for facilitating an extrapolation...Phase transitions; Staggered fermions1998-04
5 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

7 DeTar, CarletonEquation of state and QCD transition at finite temperatureWe 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 loop2009-07
8 DeTar, CarletonFinite temperature QCD: progress and outstanding problemsI 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; Instanton1995-04
9 DeTar, CarletonScalar meson spectroscopy with lattice staggered fermionsWith sufficiently light up and down quarks the isovector (a0) and isosinglet (f0) scalar meson propagators are dominated at large distance by two-meson states. In the staggered-fermion formulation of lattice quantum chromodynamics, taste-symmetry breaking causes a proliferation of two-meson states t...Staggered fermions; Chiral theory2007-11
10 DeTar, CarletonTopological susceptibility in staggered fermion chiral perturbation theoryThe topological susceptibility of the vacuum in quantum chromodynamics has been simulated numerically using the Asqtad improved staggered fermion formalism. At nonzero lattice spacing, the residual fermion doublers (fermion tastes) in the staggered fermion formalism give contributions to the suscept...Staggered fermions; Chiral perturbation2004-10
11 DeTar, CarletonTopological susceptibility with the improved Asqtad actionChiral perturbation theory predicts that in quantum chromodynamics light dynamical quarks suppress the topological (instanton) susceptibility.We investigate this suppression through direct numerical simulation using the Asqtad improved lattice fermion action. This action holds promise for carrying...Chiral perturbation; Staggered fermions2003-12
12 DeTar, CarletonTopological susceptibility with the improved Asqtad actionAs a test of the chiral properties of the improved Asqtad (staggered fermion) action, we have been measuring the topological susceptibility as a function of quark masses for 2 + 1 dynamical flavors. We report preliminary results, which show reasonable agreement with leading order chiral perturbatio...Topological cbarge; Staggered fermions2003-05
13 DeTar, CarletonTwo-flavor staggered fermion thermodynamics at Nt = 12We present results of an ongoing study of the nature of the high temperature crossover in QCD with two light fermion flavors. These results are obtained with the conventional staggered fermion action at the smallest lattice spacing to date, approximately 0.1 fm. Of particular interest are (1) a stu...Staggered fermions; Phase transitions; Polyakov loop1996-10
14 DeTar, CarletonWhich chiral symmetry is restored in high temperature quantum chromodynamics?Sigma models for the high temperature phase transition in quantum chromodynamics suggest that at high temperature the SU(Nf) X 3 SU(Nf) chiral symmetry becomes exact, but the anomalous axial U(1) symmetry need not be restored. In numerical lattice simulations, traditional methods for detecting symme...Chiral symmetry; Staggered fermions; Phase transitions1997-01
