Description
We study QCD with (2 + 1) HISQ fermions at nonzero temperature
and nonzero imaginary baryon chemical potential.
Monte Carlo simulations are performed using the MILC code
along the line of constant physics with a light to strange mass ratio of ml/ms=1/20
on lattices up to 48^3x12 to check for finite cutoff effects.
We determine the curvature of the pseudocritical line extrapolated to the continuum limit.
