THE INFLUENCE OF QUARKS ON THE SU(3) DECONFINEMENT PHASE TRANSITION

We discuss the influence of quarks on the first order deconfinement phase transition present in pure SU(3) lattice gauge theory. Strong coupling considerations as well as Monte Carlo simulations on a 8 3 × 2 lattice indicate that this transition weakens rapidly with decreasing quark mass and disappears below a critical mass of the order of GeV.
