NON-ABELIAN DEBYE MASS AT NEXT-TO-LEADING ORDER

It is shown that, after a resummation of leading high-temperature cont ributions, a complete and gauge-independent result for the non-Abelian Debye screening mass at next-to-leading order can be extracted from t he static gluon propagator. In contrast with previous, incomplete resu lts, the correction to the Debye mass is found to be logarithmically s ensitive to the nonperturbative magnetic mass and positive, in accorda nce with recent high-statistics results from lattice calculations.
