Description

We investigate the properties of the finite-temperature QCD transition towards the chiral limit using staggered quarks. Starting from the 2+1 flavor physical point, the limit of massless quarks is approached along two different trajectories in the Columbia-plot. Unlike in previous approaches, the chiral condensate is determined via the Banks-Casher relation. The first results of our finite size scaling analysis are presented.
