Title

Thermodynamics of lattice QCD with two light quarks on a [Formula presented] lattice. II

Abstract

We have extended our earlier simulations of the high-temperature behavior of lattice QCD with two light flavors of staggered quarks on a [Formula presented] lattice to a lower quark mass [Formula presented]. The transition from hadronic matter to a quark-gluon plasma is observed at [Formula presented] corresponding to a temperature of [Formula presented] MeV. We present measurements of observables which probe the nature of the quark-gluon plasma and serve to distinguish it from hadronic matter. Although the transition is quite abrupt, we have seen no indications that it is first order. © 1997 The American Physical Society.
