The QCD topological charge and its thermal dependence: the role of the η′

Abstract We analyze the contribution of the η′ (958) meson in the first two non-trivial moments of the QCD topological charge distribution, namely, the topological susceptibility and the fourth-order cumulant of the vacuum energy density. We perform our study within U(3) Chiral Perturbation Theory u...
