Chiral Symmetry restoration from the hadronic regime

Abstract

We discuss recent advances on QCD chiral symmetry restoration at finite temperature, within the theoretical framework of Effective Theories. U(3) Ward Identities are derived between pseudoscalar susceptibilities and quark condensates, allowing to explain the behaviour of lattice meson screening masses. Unitarized interactions and the generated f0(500) thermal state are showed to play an essential role in the description of the transition through the scalar susceptibility.
