a: lattice spacing Nt: lattice size in E-time direction Approaches of lattice simulations at finite T To vary temperature on the lattice, • Fixed Nt approach • Fixed scale approach WHOT-QCD, PRD 79 (2009) 051501. • Changing a (controlled by the gauge coupling (b=6/g2)),fixing Nt Advantages: T can be varied arbitrarily, because b is an input parameter. Kanaya san’s talk, yesterday • Changing Nt , fixing a Advantages: investigation of T dependence w/o changing spatial volume possible. renormalization factor dose not change when T changes.

Heavy-quark free energy at T > 0 At short distance F1(r,T) at anyT converges to V(r) = F1(r,T=0). Short distance physics is insensitive to T. Note: In the fixed Nt approach, this property is used to adjust the constant term of F1(r,T). In our fixed scale approach, because the renormalization is common to all T. no further adjustment of the constant term is necessary. We can confirm the expected insensitivity!
T ~ 200 MeV: F1~V up to 0.3--0.4 fm T ~ 700 MeV: F1 = V even at 0.1 fm Range of thermal effect is T-dependent Debye screening effect discussion, later Heavy-quark free energy at T > 0 At short distance F1(r,T) at anyT converges to V(r) = F1(r,T=0). Short distance physics is insensitive to T.
F1(r,T) becomes flat and has no increase linealy. Confinement is destroyed due to a thermal medium effect. Heavy-quark free energy at T > 0 2FQ calculated from Polyakov-line operator Long distance At large r, correlation b/w Polyakov-lines will disappear, F1 converges to 2x(single-quark free energy) at long distance
