We utilize a previously constructed thermodynamic $T$-matrix approach to the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) to calculate Wilson line correlators (WLCs) of a static quark-antiquark pair and apply them to the results from 2+1-flavor lattice-QCD…
A previously constructed $T$-matrix approach for studying the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) is improved by incorporating spin-dependent interactions between partons. These interactions arise from the relativistic corrections to the Cornell…

We study exceptional modes of both the Wilson and the clover action in order to understand why quenched clover spectroscopy suffers so severely from exceptional configurations. We show that, in contrast to the case of the Wilson action, a…

Stabilized Wilson fermions are a reformulation of Wilson clover fermions that incorporates several numerical stabilizing techniques, but also a local change of the fermion action - the original clover term being replaced with an…
