The SUSY Yang Mills plasma in a T-matrix approach

[en] In this paper, the thermodynamic properties of N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with an arbitrary gauge group are investigated. In the confined range, we show that identifying the bound state spectrum with a Hagedorn one coming from noncritical closed superstring theory leads to a prediction for the value of the deconfining temperature Tc that agrees with recent lattice data. The deconfined phase is studied by resorting to a T-matrix formulation of statistical mechanics in which the medium under study is seen as a gas of quasigluons and quasigluinos interacting nonperturbatively. Emphasis is put on the temperature range (1-5) T_c, where the interactions are expected to be strong enough to generate bound states. Binary bound states of gluons and gluinos are indeed found to be bound up to 1.4 T_c for any gauge group. The equation of state is then computed numerically for SU(N) and G_2, and discussed in the case of an arbitrary gauge group. It is found to be nearly independent of the gauge group and very close to that of nonsupersymmetric Yang-Mills when normalized to the Stefan-Boltzmann pressure and expressed as a function of T/T_c.
