A Monte Carlo study of the [beta]-function of the SU(3) Wilson action

Karsch F. A Monte Carlo study of the [beta]-function of the SU(3) Wilson action. Nuclear Physics, B. 1985;252(1):189-196.We discuss the behaviour of the [beta]-function of the standard SU(3) Wilson action at intermediate couplings. Results obtained from measuments of the deconfinement temperature and string tension on large lattices are compared with those obtained from a systematically optimized Monte Carlo Renormalization Group metho
