The QCD transition temperature: Results with physical masses in the continuum limit

Quark Mass and Flavour Dependence of the QCD Phase Transition

The pressure in 2, 2+1 and 3 flavour QCD

We calculate the string tension, deconfinement transition temperature and bulk thermodynamic quantities of the 
$SU(3)$
 gauge theory using tree level and tadpole improved actions. Finite temperature calculations have been performed on lattices with temporal extent 
$N_\tau=3$
 and 4. Compared to calculations with the standard Wilson action on this size lattices we observe a drastic reduction of the cut-off dependence of bulk thermodynamic observables at high temperatures. In order to test the influence of improvement on long-distance observables at 
$T_c$
 we determine the ratio 
$T_c/\sqrt{\sigma}$
 For all actions, including the standard Wilson action, we find results which differ only little from each other. We do, however, observe an improved asymptotic scaling behaviour for the tadpole improved action compared to the Wilson and tree level improved actions.

String tension and thermodynamics with tree level and tadpole improved actions

SU(3) latent heat and surface tension from tree level and tadpole improved actions

We calculate the transition temperature in 2 and 3-flavor QCD using improved gauge and staggered fermion actions on lattices with temporal extent Nτ = 4. We find Tc = 173 (8) MeV and 154 (8) MeV for nf = 2 and 3, respectively. In the case of 3-flavor QCD we present evidence that the chiral critical point, i.e. the second order endpoint of the line of first order chiral phase transitions, belongs to the universality class of the 3d Ising model.
