Full QCD in external chromomagnetic field

Abstract

We investigate the deconfining phase transition in full QCD with two flavors of staggered fermions in presence of a constant abelian chromomagnetic field. We find that the deconfinement temperature decreases and eventually goes to zero by increasing the strength of the chromomagnetic field. Moreover our results suggest that the chiral transition coincides with the deconfinement transition and therefore even the chiral critical temperature depends on the applied chromomagnetic field. We also find that the chiral condensate increases with the strength of the chromomagnetic field.
