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…
We have studied the 3-flavor, finite temperature, QCD phase transition with staggred fermions on an $ N_t=4$ lattice. By studying a variety of quark masses we have located the critical point, $m_c$, where the first order 3-flavor transition…

The finite temperature transition in QCD is studied using Wilson quarks for the cases of $N_F=2$, 3 and 2+1. For $N_F=2$ the transition is smooth in the chiral limit on both $\nt=4$ and 6 lattices. For $N_F=3$, clear two state signals are…
