Abstract

On the present project we will do an introduction to numerical simulation on lattice QCD, with emphasis in the case of extreme conditions of temperature, where is observed the transition to the called quarks and gluons plasma. Particularly, we will study the critical behavior on the neighborhood of the phase transition, as well as aspects related to the behavior of heavy quarks on high temperatures phase. Our study is part of the thematic project "Study of Hadronic Interactions at High Energy" (Process 2009/50180-0 coordinated by Prof. Dr. Yogiro Hama, from IFUSP).
