 Physics , 2003, DOI: 10.1143/PTPS.153.287 Abstract: We study the renormalized free energy of a heavy quark anti-quark pair in the different colour channels in full QCD at finite temperature. Similarities and differences to the quenched case are discussed and the temperature dependence as well as their short distance behavior are analyzed. The asymptotic large distance behavior of the free energy is used to define the non-perturbatively renormalized Polyakov loop which is well behaved in the continuum limit.
 Physics , 2002, DOI: 10.1016/S0920-5632(03)01671-2 Abstract: We study N_f=2 lattice QCD with nonperturbatively improved Wilson fermions at finite temperature on 16^3 \cdot 8 lattices. We determine the transition temperature at m_{\pi}/m_{\rho} \sim 0.8 and lattice spacing as small as 0.12fm. The string breaking at T < T_c is also studied. We find that the static potential can be fitted by a simple expression involving string model potential at finite temperature.
 Physics , 2009, DOI: 10.1016/j.nuclphysa.2009.10.021 Abstract: The free energy between a static quark and an antiquark is studied by using the color-singlet Polyakov-line correlation at finite temperature in lattice QCD with 2+1 flavors of improved Wilson quarks. From the simulations on $32^3 \times 12$, 10, 8, 6, 4 lattices in the high temperature phase, based on the fixed scale approach, we find that, the heavy-quark free energies at short distance converge to the heavy-quark potential evaluated from the Wilson loop at zero temperature, in accordance with the expected insensitivity of short distance physics to the temperature. At long distance, the heavy-quark free energies approach to twice the single-quark free energies, implying that the interaction between heavy quarks is screened. The Debye screening mass obtained from the long range behavior of the free energy is compared with the results of thermal perturbation theory.
 Huey-Wen Lin Physics , 2007, Abstract: We present a preliminary calculation of the charmed meson spectrum using the 2+1 flavor domain wall fermion lattice configurations currently being generated by the RBC and UKQCD collaborations. The calculation is performed using the 3-parameter, relativistic heavy quark action with nonperturbatively determined coefficients. We will also demonstrate a step-scaling procedure for determining these coefficients nonperturbatively using a series of quenched, gauge field ensembles generated for three different lattice spacings.
 Physics , 2015, DOI: 10.1146/annurev-nucl-102014-022157 Abstract: Over the past few years new physics methods and algorithms as well as the latest supercomputers have enabled the study of the QCD thermodynamic phase transition using lattice gauge theory numerical simulations with unprecedented control over systematic errors. This is largely a consequence of the ability to perform continuum extrapolations with physical quark masses. Here we review recent progress in lattice QCD thermodynamics, focussing mainly on results that benefit from the use of physical quark masses: the crossover temperature, the equation of state, and fluctuations of the quark number susceptibilities. In addition, we place a special emphasis on calculations that are directly relevant to the study of relativistic heavy ion collisions at RHIC and the LHC.
 Physics , 2006, DOI: 10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2007.08.129 Abstract: Thermodynamics of a heavy quark-antiquark pair in SU(3)-QCD is studied below the deconfinement critical temperature, $T_c$. In the quenched case, a model of the string passing through heavy valence gluons yields a correct estimate of $T_c$ and a behavior of the string tension near $T_c$. For two light flavors, entropy and internal energy can be obtained from the partition function of heavy-light mesons and baryons. They are in a good qualitative agreement with the lattice results.
 Physics , 1998, DOI: 10.1016/S0920-5632(99)85078-6 Abstract: We present a preliminary analysis of the heavy-heavy spectrum and heavy-light decay constants in full QCD, using a tadpole-improved SW quark action and an RG-improved gauge action on a 16^3 x 32 lattice with four sea quark masses corresponding to m_pi/m_rho = 0.8, 0.75, 0.7, 0.6 and a^-1 = 1.3 GeV. We focus particularly on the effect of sea quarks on these observables.
 Physics , 1992, DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.49.6236 Abstract: We argue that consistency of the combined heavy quark and chiral effective lagrangian requires the QCD scale which multiplies $1/M$ in the heavy quark expansion to be the chiral symmetry breaking scale, $\Lambda_{CSB}$, rather than the QCD scale, $\Lambda_{QCD}$. This means that either there is large uncertainty in the accuracy with which the heavy quark effective theory can be applied to $c$ quarks or the cutoff scale of the heavy quark chiral effective theory is lower than has been assumed.
 Frithjof Karsch Physics , 2001, DOI: 10.1063/1.1435943 Abstract: We discuss recent results on the thermodynamics of QCD in the presence of light dynamical quark degrees of freedom. In particular, we concentrate on an analysis of the flavour and quark mass dependence of the QCD phase diagram, the equation of state and the transition temperature. Moreover, we present recent results on the heavy quark free energy.
 Physics , 1992, DOI: 10.1016/0370-2693(93)91352-N Abstract: We employ a nonrelativistic version of QCD (NRQCD) to study heavy quark-antiquark bound states in the lowest approximation without fine structure. We use gluon configurations on a 16^3 by 48 lattice at beta=6.2 from the UKQCD collaboration. For quark masses in the vicinity of the b we obtain bound state masses for S, P and both types of D wave. We also detect signals for two types of hybrids (quark,antiquark,gluon states). The results are sufficiently accurate to confirm that the values of the D wave mass from both lattice D waves coincide indicating that the cubical invariance of the lattice is restored to full rotational invariance at large distance. Our results also show that the S-P splitting is indeed insensitive to variations in the bare quark mass from Ma=1.0 to Ma=1.9.
