摘要：The effect of an externalmagnetic field on the finite temperature transition of QCD is studied. We measure thermodynamic observables including the quark condensates and susceptibilities and the strange quark number susceptibility. We generate configurations at various values of the quantized magnetic flux with Nf = 2+1 flavors of stout smeared staggered quarks at physical quark masses. We perform the renormalization of our observables and approach the continuum limit with Nt = 6,8 and 10 lattices. We also check finite volume effects using various lattice volumes. Our main result is that the transition temperature significantly decreases with growing magnetic field, and that the transition remains an analytic crossover up to our largest external field peB = 1 GeV.
