Lattice Results for the QCD Phase Transition

Abstract

We discuss recent results for the phase transition in finite-temperature QCD from numerical (Monte Carlo) simulations of the lattice-regularized theory. Emphasis is given to the case of two degenerate light-quark flavors. The order of the transition in this case, which could have cosmological implications, has not yet been established.Comment: To appear in the Proceedings of the 1st Latin American Workshop on High Energy Phenomenology, Porto Alegre, Brazil, 1-3 Dec 2005.One figure, 4 page
