Topological susceptibility through the deconfining phase transition

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We present a measurement of the topological susceptibility in SU(3) Yang-Mills theory through the deconfinement phase transition. An improved operator is used for the topological charge density. A drop by an order of magnitude is observed from the confined to the deconfined phase.
