Nf = 1 QCD simulation with improved gauge action at finite temperature

Abstract

We study the deconfinement transition of N f = 1 QCD by the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm with Wilson fermions. We calculate the Polyakov loop, its susceptibility and Binder cumulant and use the χ 2 method to locate the phase transition point. Our results are similar to the previous results obtained by the multiboson algorithm.

Simulations of one-flavor QCD at finite temperature by RHMC

“…One-flavor QCD at finite temperature was studied some time ago [3,4]. Alexandrou et al used the multi-boson algorithm to simulate one-flavor QCD and mapped a rough phase diagram of the one-flavor QCD in the heavy quark region.…”
