We determine, by numerical simulations on a lattice, the gauge-invariant two-point correlation functions of the gauge field strengths in the QCD vacuum at zero temperature, down to a distance of 0.1 fm. We also study the behaviour of the gauge-invariant field correlators in the theory at finite temperature, across the deconfinement phase transition
We study by numerical simulations on a lattice the behavior of the gauge-invariant two-point correlation functions of the gauge-field strengths across the deconfinement phase transition, both for the pure-gauge SU(3) theory and for full QCD with two flavors. Quenched data agree within errors with previous determinations, but have much higher statistics. A best-fit analysis of the data has been performed, both for the quenched and the full-QCD case, showing that the electric gluon condensate drops to zero at the deconfining phase transition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
