Description

We will show mesonic ground masses at increasing temperatures for different flavour structures and operators. The mass extraction is carried out using a fitting procedure on anisotropic thermal correlation functions. We use FASTSUM collaboration thermal ensembles corresponding to an anisotropy of $\xi = 3.5 = a_\tau / a_s$.

Using the meson masses as a function of the temperature, we aim to explore the restoration of chiral $SU(2)_A$ and $U(1)_A$ symmetries in QCD.
