摘要
We study the chiral properties of an SU(3) gauge theory with N(f) massless Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation when N(f) is increased from 2 to 6. For N(f) = 2, our lattice simulations lead to a value of <(psi) over bar psi >/F(3), where F is the Nambu-Goldstone-boson decay constant and <(psi) over bar psi > is the chiral condensate, which agrees with the measured QCD value. For N(f) = 6, this ratio shows significant enhancement, presaging an even larger enhancement anticipated as N(f) increases further, toward the critical value for transition from confinement to infrared conformality.
