  "abstract": "We make use of unique properties of scaling functions to estimate the chiral phase transition temperature and corresponding universal critical parameters of this phase transition directly from (2+1)-flavor QCD simulations with highly improved staggered fermions on lattices with temporal extent $N_τ=8$. Working with an improved chiral order parameter for quantifying chiral symmetry breaking, we analyze the finite-volume dependence of this observable for a wide range of lattice volumes and light quark masses, and quantitatively estimate the deviations from the expected universal scaling behaviour as a function of the light-to-strange quark mass ratio.",
