Description

We explore properties of hadronic excitations at high temperature in the chiral limit by investigating hadron correlation functions in the deconfined phase of quenched QCD. This is achieved by performing a systematic analysis of the influence of cut-off effects on light quark meson correlators at $T=1.5 T_c$ using clover improved Wilson fermions on quenched gauge field configurations.\\ The correlation functions are calculated at four values of the lattice cut-off, i.e. on lattices of size $128^3\times N_\tau$ with $N_\tau = 16,\ 24,\ 32$ and $48$. Whereby we check that finite volume effects are small compared to the significant cut-off dependence observed in the correlation functions. The continuum extrapolation of these correlators are seen to be well under control for distances $0.2 \le \tau T \le 0.5$.\\ We discuss consequences for the determination of hadronic spectral functions and the analysis of their low energy structure.
