Magnetic monopoles in hot QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2017-08-23 v1

Abstract

In this talk we review how a dilute gas of magnetic monopoles in the adjoint describes the spatial k-Wilson loops. We formulate an effective theory from SMQCDS_{MQCD} by integrating out dof's down to scales in between the magnetic screening mass and the string tension and relate the 3d pressure and the string tension. Lattice data are consistent with the gas being dilute for all temperatures.
