What is the order of the deconfining phase transition?

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

The techniques are discussed by which the order of the deconfining phase transition is investigated on the lattice. QCD with Nf=2N_f=2 is a special case, which can provide information on the mechanism of confinement.
