Sphaleron Rate of Nf=2+1 QCD

We compute the sphaleron rate of Nf=2+1 QCD at the physical point for a range of temperatures 200 MeV≲T≲600 MeV. We adopt a strategy recently applied in the quenched case, based on the extraction of the rate via a modified version of the Backus-Gilbert method from finite-lattice-spacing and finite-s...

Sumario:We compute the sphaleron rate of Nf=2+1 QCD at the physical point for a range of temperatures 200 MeV≲T≲600 MeV. We adopt a strategy recently applied in the quenched case, based on the extraction of the rate via a modified version of the Backus-Gilbert method from finite-lattice-spacing and finite-smoothing-radius Euclidean topological charge density correlators. The physical sphaleron rate is finally computed by performing a continuum limit at fixed physical smoothing radius, followed by a zero-smoothing extrapolation. Dynamical fermions were discretized using the staggered formulation, which is known to yield large lattice artifacts for the topological susceptibility. However, we find them to be rather mild for the sphaleron rate. © 2024 authors. Published by the American Physical Society.
