Abstract

The heavy quark diffusion coefficient is encoded in the spectral functions of the chromoelectric and the chromomagnetic correlators that are calculable on the lattice. We study the chromoelectric and the chromomagnetic correlator in the deconfined phase of SU(3) gauge theory using Symanzik flow at two temperatures 1.5Tc1.5T_c and 10000Tc10000 T_c, with TcT_c being the phase transition temperature. To control the lattice discretization errors and perform the continuum limit we use several temporal lattice extents Nt=16,20,24N_t=16,20,24 and 28. We observe that the flow time dependence of the chromomagnetic correlator is quite different from chromoelectric correlator most likely due to the anomalous dimension of the former as has been pointed out recently in the literature.
