Abstract

We investigate the finite temperature QCD phase transition with three degenerate quark flavors using M\"{o}bius domain wall fermions. To explore the order of phase transition on the lower left corner of Columbia plot and if possible, to locate the critical endpoint we performed simulations at temperatures around 181 and 121 MeV with lattice spacing a=0.1361(20)a=0.1361(20) fm corresponding to temporal lattice extent Nτ=8,12N_{\tau}=8,12 with varying quark mass for two different volumes with aspect ratios Nσ/NτN_{\sigma}/N_{\tau} ranging from 2 to 3. By analyzing the volume and mass dependence of the chiral condensate, disconnected chiral susceptibility and Binder cumulant we find that there is a crossover at mqMS(2GeV)44MeVm_q^{\mathrm{\overline {MS}}}(2\, \mathrm{GeV}) \sim 44\, \mathrm{MeV} for Tpc\mathrm{T_{pc}}\sim 181 MeV, At temperature 121 MeV, the binder cumulant suggests a crossover at mqMS(2GeV)3.7MeVm_q^{\mathrm{\overline {MS}}}(2\, \mathrm{GeV}) \sim 3.7\, \mathrm{MeV}, although a study of volume dependence would be important to confirm this.
