We study the SU(3) gluon propagator in renormalizable $R_\xi$ gauges implemented on a symmetric lattice with total volume of (3.25 fm)$^4$ for values guage fixing parameter up to $\xi=0.5$. As expected, longitudinal dressing function stays constant at its tree-level value $\xi$. Similar Landau gauge, transverse gauge saturates non-vanishing deep infrared all $\xi$ studied. compare very recent continuum studies and perform simple analysis found saturation dynamically generated effective mass.

We address the interpretation of Landau gauge gluon propagator at finite temperature as a massive type bosonic propagator. Using pure SU(3) lattice simulations fixed volume $\sim(6.5fm)^3$, we compute electric and magnetic form factors, extract mass from Yukawa-like fits, study its dependence. This is relevant both for Debye screening high $T$ confinement low $T$.
