Thermodynamics of 2 and 3 flavour QCD

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We discuss recent results on the thermodynamics of QCD in the presence of light dynamical quark degrees of freedom. In particular, we concentrate on an analysis of the flavour and quark mass dependence of the QCD phase diagram, the equation of state and the transition temperature. Moreover, we present recent results on the heavy quark free energy.
