Numerical study of partition function zeros in 12-flavor lattice QCD finds strong evidence for first-order transitions at m_q=0.02 with scaling d=3.98(6) and suggests critical mass m_q^c approximately 0.05 where the transition ends.

abstract
With a substantial amount of simulations, we have explored the system across a wide range of lattice scales. We have located a lattice artifact, first order bulk transition, have studied its properties, and found that the flavor-singlet scalar meson mass vanishes at the critical endpoint. We will discuss the lattice phase diagrams and the continuum limits for both a spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking phase and an infrared conformal phase, and compare results with other groups.
