Chiral phase transition in lattice QCD with Wilson quarks

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

The nature of the chiral phase transition in lattice QCD is studied for the cases of 2, 3 and 6 flavors with degenerate Wilson quarks, mainly on a lattice with the temporal direction extensionN t=4. We find that the chiral phase transition is continuous for the case of 2 flavors, while it is of first order for 3 and 6 flavors.
