%0 Journal Article %T Effective SU(2) Polyakov Loop Theories with Heavy Quarks on the Lattice %A Philipp Scior %A David Scheffler %A Dominik Smith %A Lorenz von Smekal %J Physics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X We compare SU(2) Polyakov loop models with different effective actions with data from full two-color QCD simulations around and above the critical temperature. We then apply the effective theories at finite temperature and density to extract quantities like Polyakov loop correlators, effective Polyakov loop potentials and baryon density. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.7089v1
