We study Quantum Chromodynamics with eight flavours by use of lattice simulations and present evidence that the theory still breaks chiral symmetry in the zero temperature, continuum limit. This confirms that the lower end of the conformal window of QCD lies above Nf = 8.

  1. The Roberge-Weiss transition as a probe for conformality in many-flavor QCD

    hep-lat 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    For eight-flavor QCD the Roberge-Weiss transition temperature vanishes in the chiral limit, placing the theory inside the conformal window.
