For the transition temperature in the continuum limit we find r_0 T_c=0.429(8) for the light pseudo-scalar mass corresponding to the end point of the 1st order transition region. When comparing the results obtained with the R and RHMC algorithms for p4fat3 action we see no significant step-size errors down to a lightest pseudo-scalar mass of m_{ps} r_0=0.4.13 pages, RevTeX, 10 figuresHigh Energy Physics - LatticeStudy of the finite temperature transition in 3-flavor QCD using the R and RHMC algorithmstext
