title = "Wilson thermodynamics at Nt = 8",
abstract = "We study QCD thermodynamics with Wilson quarks using eight time slices at 6/g2 = 5.3. Unlike the case of Nt = 6 at smaller 6/g2, no strong metastability is seen and the differences in thermodynamic variables between hot and cold lattices are consistent with quark-gluon plasma physics. Estimates of the temperature of the crossover are consistent with estimates using Kogut-Susskind quarks and with Wilson quarks at Nt = 6.",

note = "Funding Information: Finally, we can use the interpolating forms for the p and r masses to estimate Tc in physical units and compare with other calculations with Kogut-Susskind and Wilson quarks. We estimate xt = 0.1670(4), which, using the zero temperature p mass as a standard, corresponds to a temperature Tc \textasciitilde{} 15 \textasciitilde{}+18 ---14 MeV. At this temperature we have m,/mp = 0 • 52 +.08 -.14{"} This is similar to the values of m,/mp at the points where strong metastability was found in Ref. \textbackslash{}[8\textbackslash{}] (At Nt = 6 we found m,dm ¢ = 0.56 at t¢ = 0.18 and 0.44 at = 0.19). This gives us reason to hope that the unattractive features of lattice thermodynamics with Wilson quarks can be removed by decreasing the lattice spacing. These calculations were done on the Intel Paragon at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. We thank the Institute for Theoretical Physics, where parts of this work were done. This research was supported by the United States NSF and DOE.",
