Description

We report the current status of our systematic studies of the QCD thermodynamics by lattice QCD simulations with two flavours of improved Wilson quarks. We evaluate the critical temperature of two-flavour QCD in the chiral limit at a zero chemical potential and show the preliminary result. Also we discuss fluctuations at non-zero temperature and density by calculating the quark number and isospin susceptibilities and their derivatives with respect to the chemical potential
