Study of 3-flavor QCD Finite Temperature Phase Transition with Staggered Fermions

arXiv:hep-lat/0111013

Abstract

We have studied the 3-flavor, finite temperature, QCD phase transition with staggred fermions on an $N_{t} = 4$ lattice. By studying a variety of quark masses we have located the critical point, $m_{c}$ , where the first order 3-flavor transition ends as lying in the region $0.32 \leq m_{c} \leq 0.35$ in lattice units
