A test of first order scaling in Nf =2 QCD: a progress report
arXiv:0901.3231
Abstract
We present the status of our analysis on the order of the finite temperature transition in QCD with two flavors of degenerate fermions. Our new simulations on large lattices support the hypothesis of the first order nature of the transition, showing a preliminary two state signal. We will discuss the implications and the next steps in our analysis.
