QUARK SPECTRUM ABOVE THE CRITICAL TEMPERATURE FROM SCHWINGER–DYSON EQUATION

    We investigate a spectrum of a fermion, which we call a quark, above the critical temperature of the chiral phase transition in a gauge theory using the Schwinger–Dyson (SD) equation. The SD equation enables us to study the spectrum over a wide range of the gauge coupling. It is shown that the quark spectrum has two sharp peaks which correspond to the normal quasi-quark and the plasmino and is consistent with that obtained in the hard thermal loop approximation in the weak coupling region, while it has also two peaks but with smaller thermal masses and broader widths in the strong coupling region. Temperature-dependence of the quark spectrum is also discussed.
