Visualizations of the QCD Vacuum
Abstract
Description
Action and topological charge densities of the Euclidean-space QCD vacuum are visualized in three-dimensional slices of a 24^3 x 36 space-time lattice and an order-a^2 improved 16^3 x 32 lattice. Features include instanton anti-instanton annihilation and a comparison of standard and over-improved actions used in the smoothing of the gauge fields.
