Clover improvement is the standard choice for lattice simulations of QCD, when the lattice artefacts coming from Wilson fermions have to be reduced. However, the clover improvement is not limited to QCD, but can be applied to a wider range…
In this work, we perform parameter tuning with dynamical anisotropic clover lattices using the Schr\"odinger functional and stout-smearing in the fermion field. We find that $\xi_R/\xi_0$ is relatively close to 1 in our parameter search,…

The thermodynamics of massless ideal gas of overlap quarks has been investigated both analytically and numerically for both zero and nonzero baryon chemical potential. Any \mu^2-divergence is shown analytically to be absent for a class of…
Determining the type of excitations that can exist in a thermal medium is key to understanding how hadronic matter behaves at extreme temperatures. In this work we study this question for pseudo-scalar mesons comprised of light-strange and…
We conclude our investigations on the QCD cross-over transition temperatures with 2+1 staggered flavours and one-link stout improvement. We extend our previous two studies [Phys. Lett. B643 (2006) 46, JHEP 0906:088 (2009)] by choosing even…
