Phase Transition Critical Flavor Number of QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We present an entirely perturbative QCD determination of the critical phase transition flavor number NfcrN^{cr}_{f} of QCD. The results obtained are compared with various determinations of NfcrN^{cr}_{f} by non-pertrubative methods, including lattice QCD. The wider physics implication of the existence of the Banks-Zaks regime of QCD with only weakly interacting quarks, is discussed briefly.
