Interface tension in quenched QCD
Year: 1994
Type: article
Abstract: We calculate the tension $\ensuremath{\sigma}$ of the interface between the confined and deconfined phases by the histogram method in SU(3) lattice gauge theory for temporal extents of 4 and 6 using the recent high-statistics data of the QCDPAX Collaboration. The results are $\frac{\ensuremath{\sigma}}{{T}_{c}^{3}}=0.0292(22) \mathrm{and} 0.0218(33)$ for ${N}_{t}=4 \mathrm{and} 6$, respectively. The ratio $\frac{\ensuremath{\sigma}}{{T}_{c}^{3}}$ shows a scaling violation similar to that already observed for the latent heat $L$. However, we find that the physically interesting dimensionless combinations ${(\frac{{\ensuremath{\sigma}}^{3}}{{L}^{2}T})}^{\frac{1}{2}}$ and $\frac{\ensuremath{\sigma}T}{L}$ scale within the statistical errors.
