Description
We present our latest results on the determination of the curvature of the pseudo-critical line of the QCD phase diagram at the physical point, using the method of analytic continuation from an imaginary chemical potential. We also assess the impact of including a non-zero strange quark chemical potential. Our results are obtained with stout improved staggered fermions and the tree level Symanzik improvement for the gauge action.
