Why QCD thermodynamics with Wilson Why QCD thermodynamics with Wilson quark action?quark action?1, A well-improved lattice action available: Basic properties at T = 0 well-investigated Iwasaki (RG) improved gauge action + Clover improved Wilson action Systematic studies have been done by CP-PACS Collaboration (1996~). Large stock of data at T = 0
2, Most of studies at T0 have been done using Staggered-type quark actions. Studies by a Wilson-type quark action are necessary.
