Abstract:
The dependence of thermodynamic properties of QCD on the number of quark flavours is investigated. Lattice results for the equation of state are presented for 2, 2+1 and 3 quark flavours. The simulations have been performed with the improved p4-staggered fermion and a Symanzik improved gluon action on lattices of size 16^3 x 4
