Description

We present preliminary results for the determination of the critical endpoint of the chiral transition in N_f=3 QCD with mu=0 at small N_t. We have employed an unimproved Wilson gauge action with staggered fermions, for which previous results on the critical endpoint are available. As an extension of these results we have studied the dependence of the critical mass on the strength of the smearing.
