Running coupling of 2-flavor QCD at zero and finite temperature

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-01-07 v2 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

We present lattice studies of the running coupling in 2-flavor QCD. The coupling at zero temperature (T=0) is extracted from Wilson loops while the coupling at finite temperature (T0T\neq0) is determined from Polyakov loop correlation functions.
