Abstract

A new approach to study the equation of state in finite-temperature QCD is proposed on the lattice. Unlike the conventional method in which the temporal lattice size Nt is fixed, the temperature T is varied by changing Nt at the fixed lattice scale. The pressure of the hot QCD plasma is calculated by the integration of the trace anomaly with respect to T at the fixed lattice scale. This “T-integral method” is tested in quenched QCD on isotropic and anisotropic lattices and is shown to give reliable results, especially at intermediate and low temperatures.
