Abstract: (Elsevier)
Using the pseudo-fermion Monte Carlo method we investigate the chiral and the deconfinement phase transitions in the SU(3) gauge theory with dynamical staggered fermions on a 6 3 × 2 lattice. The energy density of the gluonic sector ϵ G , the average thermal Wilson loop |〈 L 〉| and the order parameter 〈 ψ ψ〉 are found to have a rapid variation in the same range of β (=6/ g 2 ). The variation is similar to that observed in the quenched theory but is at a smaller value of β.
