Topological susceptibility in full QCD at zero and finite temperature

Abstract

We present a study of the topological susceptibility on the lattice for full QCD with 2 and 4 flavours of staggered fermions at zero and finite temperature T. We find that presents a sharp drop across the deconfinement transition. We also study the dependence of on the quark mass at T=0: we have no conclusive evidence for the expected chiral behaviour.
