CHIRAL TRANSITION IN 2 FLAVOR STAGGERED QCD

The current status of results of the Bielefeld group on the chiral tra nsition in two-flavor staggered QCD is presented. The scaling behavior of some susceptibilities will be compared with the expectations origi nating from the O(4) sigma model. The realization of the anomalous U-A (1) around the transition will be addressed and first data on the eige nvalue spectrum of the Dirac matrix as well as the corresponding eigen vectors will be presented.
