Abstract

We report the results of a measurement of susceptibilities in noncompact QED_4 in 8^4, 1O^4 and 12^4 lattices. Due to the potentialities of the MFA approach, we have done simulations in the chiral limit which are therefore free from arbitrary mass extrapolations. Our results in the Coulomb phase show unambiguously that the susceptibility critical exponent $\gamma = 1$ independently of the flavour symmetry group. The critical couplings extracted from these calculations are in perfect agreement with previous determinations based on the fermion effective action and plaquette energy, and outside the predictions of a logarithmically improved scalar mean field theory by eight standard deviations.
