Landau gauge gluon and ghost propagators from two-flavor lattice QCD at T > 0


Abstract in English

In this contribution we extend our unquenched computation of the Landau gauge gluon and ghost propagators in lattice QCD at non-zero temperature. The study was aimed at providing input for investigations employing continuum functional methods. We show data which correspond to pion mass values between 300 and 500 MeV and are obtained for a lattice size 32**3 x 12. The longitudinal and transversal components of the gluon propagator turn out to change smoothly through the crossover region, while the ghost propagator exhibits only a very weak temperature dependence. For a pion mass of around 400 MeV and the intermediate temperature value of approx. 240 MeV we compare our results with additional data obtained on a lattice with smaller Euclidean time extent N_t = 8, 10 and find a reasonable scaling behavior.
