Chiral transition and deconfinement in N_f = 2 QCD

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2008-11-26 v2

Abstract

The transition is studied by means of a disorder parameter detecting condensation of magnetic monopoles in the vacuum. The deconfining transition is found to coincide with the chiral transition and the susceptibility \rho, related to the disorder parameter, is consistent with a first order phase transition.
