We present our study of the QCD medium magnetic properties. We use Nf = 2 + 1 quark flavors QCD at the physical point, with Symanzik tree level improved gauge action and stout improved staggered fermions. We find that the strongly interacting matter behaves as a paramagnet in the range of temperatures (100 − 400) MeV, with a sharp increase of the magnetic susceptibiliy at the deconfinement crossover. For magnetic field values expected during off-central heavy ion collisions, we found that the magnetic contribution to the pressure can reach up to the 40% of the total pressure near the crossover transition. Finally we discuss preliminary results on higher order magnetic contributions to the free energy.

Abstract

We present our study of the QCD medium magnetic properties. We use Nf = 2 + 1 quark flavors QCD at the physical point, with Symanzik tree level improved gauge action and stout improved staggered fermions. We find that the strongly interacting matter behaves as a paramagnet in the range of temperatures (100 − 400) MeV, with a sharp increase of the magnetic susceptibiliy at the deconfinement crossover. For magnetic field values expected during off-central heavy ion collisions, we found that the magnetic contribution to the pressure can reach up to the 40% of the total pressure near the crossover transition. Finally we discuss preliminary results on higher order magnetic contributions to the free energy.
