Monopoles play a significant role at finite temperature
Abstract
We study QCD with two flavors of non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions at finite temperature on the lattice. We determine the transition temperature at lattice spacings as small as fm, and study string breaking below the finite temperature transition. We find that the static potential can be fitted by a two-state ansatz, including a string state and a two-meson state. We investigate the role of Abelian monopoles at finite temperature.
