We investigate the phase transition in full QCD with two flavors of staggered fermions in presence of a constant abelian chromomagnetic field. We find that the critical temperature depends on the strength of the chromomagnetic field and that the deconfined phase extends to very low temperatures for strong enough fields. As in the case of zero external field, a single transition is detected, within statistical uncertainties, where both deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration take place. We also find that the chiral condensate increases with the strength of the chromomagnetic field.

Abstract

We investigate the phase transition in full QCD with two flavors of staggered fermions in presence of a constant abelian chromomagnetic field. We find that the critical temperature depends on the strength of the chromomagnetic field and that the deconfined phase extends to very low temperatures for strong enough fields. As in the case of zero external field, a single transition is detected, within statistical uncertainties, where both deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration take place. We also find that the chiral condensate increases with the strength of the chromomagnetic field.
