Abstract: I will present a detailed study of the Entanglement Entropy for the confining Klebanov-Strassler background coupled to a large number of dynamical flavors. The mass of the flavors introduces another scale in the geometry and the entropy undergoes two first order phase transitions. The competition between the glueball and the quark scales will lead to a critical point where one of the phase transitions degenerates to a second order one. The critical exponents are independent of the number of flavors and different from the mean filed theory expectations.
