Description

In this talk I will summarize our recent efforts to determine the location of the critical end point within the framework of Dyson-Schwinger equations. We work in an approximation that reproduces lattice results for the temperature dependent condensate and the unquenched gluon propagator at zero chemical potential. I discuss results for the phase diagram with 2+1 and 2+1+1 quark flavours at physical quark masses. Furthermore I summarize results for the corresponding quark spectral functions and discuss their temperature dependence.
