Abstract

We study the deconfinement transition of $N_f=1$ QCD by the hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm with Wilson fermions. We calculate the Polyakov loop, its susceptibility and Binder cumulant and use the $\chi^2$ method to locate the phase transition point. Our results are similar to the previous results obtained by the multiboson algorithm.
