Description

We investigate the critical endpoints of the finite temperature phase transition of QCD at zero chemical potential. We employ the renormalization-group improved Iwasaki gauge action and non-perturbatively $O(a)$-improved Wilson-clover fermion action. The critical endpoints are determined by using the intersection point of kurtosis, employing the multi-parameter, multi-ensemble reweighting method. We present results for the critical endline at $N_t=6$ and the continuum extrapolation for the critical endpoint of the SU(3)-flavor symmetric point.
