abstract

We present results on the chiral and deconfinement properties of the QCD transition at finite temperature. Calculations are performed with 2+1 flavors of quarks using the p4, asqtad and HISQ/tree actions. Lattices with temporal extent N_tau=6, 8 and 12 are used to understand and control discretization errors and to reliably extrapolate estimates obtained at finite lattice spacings to the continuum limit. The chiral transition temperature is defined in terms of the phase transition in a theory with two massless flavors and analyzed using O(N) scaling fits to the chiral condensate and susceptibility. We find consistent estimates from the HISQ/tree and asqtad actions and our main result is T_c=154 +/- 9 MeV.

Hints for string breaking in QCD

hep-lat · 2026-07-08 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Direct measurement of chromo-electric flux-tube profiles in lattice QCD with physical quark masses indicates string breaking occurs at a quark-antiquark separation between 0.963 and 1.156 fm.

Energy loss of heavy-flavor quarks in color string medium

hep-ph · 2025-09-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Preliminary simulations show charm quarks lose significantly less transverse momentum in a fluctuating color string medium than in the hydrodynamic expansion of the EPOS4HQ model.

High-Quality Axion Dark Matter at Gravitational Wave Interferometers

hep-ph · 2025-09-17 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In gauged U(1) completions enabling high-quality axion dark matter, cosmic string loops generate a stochastic gravitational wave background with an infrared break frequency that exceeds foregrounds above 10^14 GeV breaking scales and offers a probe at interferometers.

The QCD phase diagram for three-flavor M\"obius domain-wall fermions

hep-lat · 2026-06-26 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Lattice simulations with Möbius domain-wall fermions find the three-flavor QCD transition at mu_B=0 is a continuous crossover at pseudocritical quark masses of 184(10) MeV (Nt=6), 36-39 MeV (Nt=8), and 3.5-3.7 MeV (Nt=12) in the MSbar scheme.

Two Lectures on the Phase Diagram of QCD

hep-ph · 2026-04-04 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

QCD features at least three phases at zero baryon density and three at high density, including a Quarkyonic phase at high density and low temperature, described via large-N_c and a parameter-free 3D string model.

Light and Strange Baryons in Medium

hep-ph · 2026-06-09 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Parametric study of medium-induced shifts in the GBE quark model for baryon masses and their qualitative effect on ideal-gas yields.

The landscape of QCD axion models

hep-ph · 2020-03-02 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

Review classifies QCD axion models extending the standard mass-coupling window and updates bounds from cosmology, astrophysics, and experiments.
