Abstract

We perform a Monte Carlo simulation of the full theory of QCD at finite temperature. The effect of closed quark loops is taken in account by employing the pseudo-fermion method. Our preliminary data, show that for three flavors the scenario given by the pure gauge theory is unchanged: the theory still undergoes a first order phase transition at the critical coupling βc = 6/gc2 = 5.2 ± 0.1 (TcL = 171 ± 28). Increasing the number of flavors we observe stronger ordering effects and the critical coupling decreases.
