Description
We report our updated study on the critical endpoint of the finite temperature phase transition in 4-flavor QCD with Wilson-Clover fermions. Using the kurtosis intersection method, we determined the critical endpoint on lattices with $N_t$ = 4, 6 and 8. Our continuum extrapolated result shows that the critical pion mass is clearly larger compared to one in 3-flavor, which suggests that the critical pion mass in 4-flavor might remain finite even in the continuum limit in contrast to the staggered quark case.
