Abstract: The critical curve of string tension as a function of the temperature is computed in SU(3) Lattice QCD. We present the results for the string tension utilizing a pair of Polyakov loop and antiloop, with two different techniques. We compare the colour averaged loop-antiloop which is gauge invariant but is only adequate to study the string tension, and the colour singlet loop-antiloop using the Landau gauge fixing which also enables to compute the coulomb part of the free energy.
