Screening masses in strong external magnetic fields

Understand

We present results for the (color)magnetic and (color)electric screening masses of the Quark-Gluon Plasma in the presence of an external magnetic field.

• The screening masses are extracted from the correlators of Polyakov loops, determined by lattice QCD simulations at the physical point.
• We explore temperatures in the range $200\,\mathrm{MeV}\lesssim T\lesssim 330\,\mathrm{MeV}$ and magnetic field intensities up to $|e|B \sim 1.3\,\mathrm{GeV}^2$.
• We find that both screening masses are increasing functions of the magnetic field and that the dependence on $B$ becomes weaker for larger temperatures.
