QCD finite T transition -- Comparison between Wilson and staggered results

Abstract

A quantitative comparison between the finite temperature behaviour of the staggered and Wilson fermion formulations are performed. The comparison is based on a physical quantity that is expected to be quite sensitive to the fermionic features of the action. For that purpose we use the height of the peak for $d{\chi }_s/dT$, where ${\chi }_s$ is the quark number susceptibility.
