We investigate the properties of the deconfining/chiral restoring transition for two flavor QCD in presence of a uniform backgroundmagnetic field. We adopt a standard staggered discretization of the fermion action, different values of the bare quark mass corresponding to pion masses ranging from 200 to 500 MeV, and magnetic fields up to eB ∼ 1 GeV2. We present first results regarding the dependence of the deconfinement and chiral transition temperature, as well as the strength of the transition on the magnetic field.

Abstract
We investigate the properties of the deconfining/chiral restoring transition for two flavor QCD in presence of a uniform backgroundmagnetic field. We adopt a standard staggered discretization of the fermion action, different values of the bare quark mass corresponding to pion masses ranging from 200 to 500 MeV, and magnetic fields up to eB ∼ 1 GeV2. We present first results regarding the dependence of the deconfinement and chiral transition temperature, as well as the strength of the transition on the magnetic field.File in questo prodotto:
