We study the critical point for finite temperature Nf=3 QCD using several temporal lattice sizes up to 10. In the study, the Iwasaki gauge action and non-perturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions are employed. We estimate the critical…

Some of the new developments in the theory of heavy ion collisions are reviewed. Much of the last progress have been triggered by the high energies available at RHIC. In the near future, the LHC will extend the energy reach in heavy ions by…
