Abstract
We report on our simulation of finite temperature lattice QCD with two flavors of O(a) Symanzik-improved fermions and O(a(2)) Symanzik-impro ved glue. Our thermodynamic simulations were performed on an 8(3) x 4 lattice, and we have performed complementary zero temperature simulati ons on an 8(3) x 16 lattice. We compare our results to those from simu lations with two flavors of Wilson fermions and discuss the improvemen t resulting from use of the improved action.
