Title: HEAVY QUARK FREE ENERGIES AND SCREENING AT FINITE TEMPERATURE AND DENSITY.

Conference ·
OSTI ID:860504

We study the free energies of heavy quarks calculated from Polyakov loop correlation functions in full 2-flavour QCD using the p4-improved staggered fermion action. A small but finite baryon number density is included via Taylor expansion of the fermion determinant in the baryo-chemical potential {mu}. For temperatures above T{sub c} we extract Debye screening masses from the large distance behavior of the free energies and compare their {mu}-dependence to perturbative results.
