Introduction • Equation of State (EOS) • is important for phenomenological study of QGP, etc. • Methods to calculate the EOS have been established, • e.g. Integral method J. Engels et al. (’90). • Temperature T=1/(Nta) is varied by a(β)at fixed Nt • The EOS calculation requires huge computational cost, • in which T=0 calculations dominate despite T>0 study. • Search for a Line of Constant Physics (LCP) • beta functions at each temperature • T=0 subtraction at each temperature T.Umeda (Tsukuba) /15

T-integration method to calculate the EOS We propose a new method (“T-integration method”) to calculate the EOS at fixed scales (*) Temperature T=1/(Nta) is varied by Nt at fixed a(β) Our method is based on the trace anomaly (interaction measure), and the thermodynamic relation. (*) fixed scale approach has been adopted in L.Levkova et al. (’06) whose method is based on the derivative method. T.Umeda (Tsukuba) /15
Notable points in T-integration method • Our method can reduce computational cost at T=0 drastically. • Zero temperature subtraction is performed • using a common T=0 calculation. • Line of Constant Physics (LCP) is trivially exact (even in full QCD). • Only the beta functions at the simulation point are required. • However ... • Temperatures are restricted by integer Nt. • Sufficiently fine lattice is necessary. Example of Temp. resolution (a=0.07fm) Integer Nt provides - higher resolution at T~Tc - lower resolution at high T T~Tc is important for EOS T.Umeda (Tsukuba) /15
Simulation parameters (isotropic lattices) We present results from SU(3) gauge theory as a test of our method • plaquette gauge action on Ns3 x Nt lattices • Jackknife analysis with appropriate bin-size To study scale- & volume-dependence, we prepare 3-type of lattices.

Simulation parameters (anisotropic lattice) Anisotropic lattice is useful to increase Temp. resolution, we also test our method on an anisotropic lattice as≠ at • plaquette gauge action on Ns3 x Nt lattices • with anisotropy ξ=as/at=4 V=(20as)3 =(1.95fm)3 V=(30as)3 =(2.92fm)3 V=(40as)3 =(3.89fm)3 - critical temp. β=6.1, ξ=4 V=(20as)3 =(1.95fm)3 as=0.097fm - EOS calculation - static quark free energy T.Umeda (Tsukuba) /15

Conclusion • We studied thermodynamics of SU(3) gauge theory at fixed lattice scale • Our method ( T-integration method ) works well to calculate the EOS • Fixed scale approach is also useful for - critical temperature - static quark free energy - etc. • Our method is also available in full QCD !! Therefore ... T.Umeda (Tsukuba) /15
Toward full QCD calculations • Our method is suited for • already performed high statistics full QCD results. • When beta functions are (able to be) known at a simulation point • and T=0 configurations are open to the public, • our method requires no additional T=0 simulation !! • We are pushing forward in this direction • using CP-PACS/JLQCD results in ILDG • (Nf=2+1 Clover+RG, a=0.07fm, pion mass ~ 500MeV) • Our final goal is to study • thermodynamics on the physical point (pion mass ~ 140MeV) • with 2+1 flavors of Wilson quarks T.Umeda (Tsukuba) /15
