Description

The QCD pressure anisotropy in a uniform background magnetic field has been computed for a wide range of temperature and magnetic field. Surprisingly, it has been found to exhibit near universal behavior, depending predominately on a single dimensionless ratio, $B/T^2$. When appropriately compared with the corresponding quantity in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory, remarkably good agreement is found.
