Critical temperature in QCD with two flavors of dynamical quarks

Abstract

We present results obtained in QCD with two flavors of non-perturbatively improved Wilson fermions at finite temperature on $16^3\times 8$ and $24^3\times 10$ lattices. We determine the transition temperature in the range of quark masses $0.6<m_{\pi }/m_{\rho }<0.8$ at lattice spacing a$\approx$0.1 fm and extrapolate the transition temperature to the continuum and to the chiral limits. We also discuss the order of phase transition.
