1 QCD Matter above Tc Atsushi NAKAMURA RIISE, Hiroshima University 5 th International Workshop on Extreme QCD Frascati, Aug.6-8, 2007 QCD

2 Collaboration with R. Gupta and S. Sakai M. Chernodub and V. Zakharov Y. Nakagawa, T. Saito, H. Toki and D. Zwanziger M.Hamada, M.Yahiro and H.Kono Trial to construct A Picture of QCD Matter above Tc

3 Contents 1. Motivation 2. Transport Coefficients 3. Confinement Picture 1. Gribov-Zwanziger 2. Quark Propagators 3. Magnetic Degrees of Freedom at T>Tc

4 T T c Temperature exceeds Tc at RHIC, and probably at SPS (and surely will exceed at LHC)

13 Confinement/Deconfinement Simple Picture I can see only a colorless state from outside? Confinement Potential is screened at finite temperature. Deconfinement Free Quark Gluon Gas

14 Transport Coefficients A Step towards Gluon Dynamical Behavior. They can be (in principle) calculated by a well established formula (Linear Response Theory). They are important to understand QGP which is realized in RHIC (and CERN-SPS) and LHC. QCD Hydro-Model Experimental Data

15 RHIC-data Big Surprise! Hydro-dynamical Model describes RHIC data well! Oh, really? At SPS, the Hydro describes well one-particle distributions, HBT etc., but fails for the elliptic flow.

16 Hydro describes well v2 Hydrodynamical calculations are based on Ideal Fluid, i.e., zero shear viscosity.

17 Another Big Surprise! The Hydrodynamical model assumes zero viscosity, i.e., Perfect Fluid. Phenomenological Analyses suggest also small viscosity. Oh, really?

18 Liquid or Gas? Frequent Momentum Exchange Perfect fluid Opposite Situation Ideal Gas

36 Status of Transport Coefficients, 2007 Old Method (We employ an Ansaz for the spectral function) Numerically, no discrepancy is observed agains the Ansaz, so far. High statistic reduces (2 ~ 6 M. 10 times more than before) error bars, and η ~ 0.1 Bulk viscosity has small positive values. Many techniques are tested (improved Kernel of MEM, improved operators, 2-level-Algorithm by Luescher-Weiz etc). All seem to work Then let s go

37 In order to understand Deconfinement, we need to understand the Confinement Mechanism Gribov-Zwanziger Picture Monopole Picture

41 Time-time gluon propagator in Coulomb gauge D ( x, t) =< A ( x, t) A (0,0) > = V () r δ () t + P(,), x t r = x coul Color-Coulomb instantaneous part ( antiscreening ); this term may produce the color confinement. Non-instantaneous vacuum polarization part (screening) ; this term causes a screening effect ( quark-pair creation ). D 00 is invariant under the renormalization.

42

43

44 Eigen-Value Distribution of Faddeev- Popov Operator does not change drastically below and above Tc. Consequently, the Instantanous Potential remains Linear-Rising behavior even above Tc. The Polarization Part P makes the Potential screened. D ( x, t) =< A ( x, t) A (0,0) > = V () r δ () t + P(,), x t r = x coul Always Linear Rising

45 Quark Propagators above Tc Quarks become free from the Confinement, but we suspect they are not quasi-free. Then how they behave?

54 Confinement is due to monopole condensation Center vortex mechanism Del Debbio, Faber, Greensite, Olejnik, 97 a realization of spaghetti (Copenhagen) vacuum Center strings are classified with respect to the center Z N of the SU(N) gauge group Confinement is due to vortex percolation

63 Why they are so noisy? RG improved action helps lot. Noise from Lattice Artifact? (Finite a correction?) Once we checked that there is not so much difference between ( ) F = U U /2i µν µν µν and for SU(2). But we should check it again. a F = log U / i µν µν

64 The situation reminds us Glue-Ball Case. (I thank Ph.deForcrand for discussions on this point.) Glue-Ball Correlators = ( τ ) (0) Large (extended) Operators work better, e.g., ν µ where = + +
