The QCD transition temperature: Results with physical masses in the continuum limit
Open accessAbstract
The transition temperature (Tc) of QCD is determined by Symanzik improved gauge and stout-link improved staggered fermionic lattice simulations. We use physical masses both for the light quarks (mud) and for the strange quark (ms). Four sets of lattice spacings (Nt=4, 6, 8 and 10) were used to carry out a continuum extrapolation. It turned out that only Nt=6, 8 and 10 can be used for a controlled extrapolation, Nt=4 is out of the scaling region. Since the QCD transition is a non-singular cross-over there is no unique Tc. Thus, different observables lead to different numerical Tc values even in the continuum and thermodynamic limit. The peak of the renormalized chiral susceptibility predicts Tc=151(3)(3)MeV, wheres Tc-s based on the strange quark number susceptibility and Polyakov loops result in 24(4) MeV and 25(4) MeV larger values, respectively. Another consequence of the cross-over is the non-vanishing width of the peaks even in the thermodynamic limit, which we also determine. These numbers are attempted to be the full result for the T≠0 transition, though other lattice fermion formulations (e.g. Wilson) are needed to cross-check them.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
