Thermodynamics of light front quantized QED₁₊₁ — •Stefan Strauss and Michael Beyer — Institute für Physik, Universität Rostock, 18051 Rostock, Germany

The thermodynamical properties of Quantum Electro Dynamics in 1+1 dimension are determined for various couplings using discrete light cone quantisation (DLCQ). For the computation of the partition function a large harmonic resolution is necessary and more accurate mass spectra and the bound state wave functions are obtained. The continuum and thermodynamical limits of the partition function and derived quantities are carefully considered. Error bounds and comparisons to the idealized gases are given.
