Description
We have been studying lattice QCD with colour-sextet staggered quarks, as a model for conformal/walking
technicolor. We are studying the thermodynamics of these theories and using the positions of the deconfinement
and chiral transitions to try to distinguish between conformal and walking behaviour. Our preliminary simulations
with N_f=2, on N_t=4 and N_t=6 lattices, favoured the walking scenario. I will present new results at N_t=8. In
addition I will present the results from simulations with N_f=3.
