String tension at finite temperature Lattice QCD

The critical curve of string tension as a function of the temperature is computed in SU(3) Lattice QCD. We present the results for the string tension utilizing a pair of Polyakov loop and antiloop, with two different techniques. We compare the colour averaged loop-antiloop which is gauge invariant but is only adequate to study the string tension, and the colour singlet loop-antiloop using the Landau gauge fixing which also enables to compute the coulomb part of the free energy.

Production of Anticentauro Events in Ultra-Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions

We propose a novel method for studying the production of anticentauro events in high energy heavy ion collisions utilizing Chebyshev expansion coefficients. These coefficients have proved to be very efficient in investigating the pattern of fluctuations in neutral pion fraction. For the anticentauro like events, the magnitude of first few coefficients is strongly enhanced (~3 times) as compared to those of normal HIJING events. Various characteristics of Chebyshev coefficients are studied in detail and the probability of formation of exotic events is calculated from the simulated events.
