摘要
We determine the location of the second order endpoint of the line of first order chiral phase transition in 3-flavor QCD at vanishing chemical potential (mu(q)). Using Ferrenberg-Swendsen reweighting for two values of the quark mass we determine the mu(q)-dependence of the transition line and locate the chiral critical point. For both quantities we find a significant quark mass dependence.
