Description
We study the curvature of the pseudo-critical line in N_f=2+1 QCD through numerical simulations performed using the tree-level Symanzik gauge action and the stout-smeared staggered action. The location of the phase transition is determined from the inflection point of the renormalized chiral condensate and the curvature coefficient is calculated using the Taylor expansion adopting various definitions. We also compare our findings with previous results available in the literature.
