QCD phase transition with two flavors of Wilson quarks using a RG improved action

The finite temperature QCD phase transition is studied on the lattice with degenerate two flavors of Wilson quarks. Motivated by reported strange behaviors with the standard action on lattices with the temporal extention $N_t=4$ and 6, a renormalization group improved gauge action is applied. On an $N_t=4$ lattice, the strange behaviors observed with the standard action are removed with our improved action. The finite temperature transition is continuous in the chiral limit and it becomes quite smooth in all observables we studied when we increase the quark mass by increasing $\beta$ along the crossover line.
