Abstract

 

We present the status of our analysis on the order of the finite temperature transition in QCD with two flavors of degenerate fermions. Our early results on large lattices support the hypothesis of the first order nature of the transition, showing a two state signal. We will discuss the implications and the next steps in our analysis.
