Abstract
We present a Monte Carlo calculation of the quark-liberating phase transition in lattice quantum chromodynamics. The transition temperature as a function of the lattice coupling does not scale according to the perturbative beta function for . We use finite-size scaling in analyzing the properties of the lattice system near the transition point.
