title = "Thermodynamics of lattice QCD with 2 light dynamical (staggered) quark flavours on a 163 × 8 lattice",
abstract = "Lattice QCD with 2 light staggered quark flavours is being simulated on a 163 × 8 lattice to study the transition from hadronic matter to a quark gluon plasma. We have completed runs at mq = 0.0125 and are extending this to mq = 0.00625. We also examine the addition of a non-dynamical {"}strange{"} quark. Thermodynamic order parameters are being measured across the transition and further into the plasma phase, as are various screening lengths. No evidence for a first order transition is seen, and we estimate the transition temperature to be Tc = 143(7)MeV.",

note = "Funding Information: close to \/8-ir/Nt. This suggests that these states are collections of unbound quarks of the lowest allowed Matsubara frequency (7r/Nt), while the (7r,Q) multiplet remains bound [9] . Hadronic wave function measurements by the MILC collaboration [7] and the area law we observe for spatial Wilson line correlations cast doubt on this simple picture . Finally, we have measured the topological susceptibility by the cooling method, [10] and find good agreement with the anomalous Ward identity [11] . We thank the Pittsburgh Supercomputer Center for access to their CM-2 on which these simulations were performed .
