Isentropic Equation of State of Two-Flavour QCD in a Quasi-Particle Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the isentropic QCD equation of state within a quasiparticle model being adjusted to first principle QCD calculations of two quark flavours. In particular, we compare with Taylor expansion coefficients of energy and entropy densities and with the isentropic trajectories describing the hydrodynamical expansion of a heavy-ion collision fireball.

Within a quasi-particle model for the equation of state of strongly interacting matter for two quark flavors we include phenomenologically features of the QCD critical point and discuss its impact on the equation of state. In particular, we investigate the influence on the quark number susceptibility and the pattern of isentropic trajectories which describe the evolutionary paths of matter duri...
متن کاملQuasi-Particle Description of Strongly Interacting Matter: Towards a Foundation
We confront our quasi-particle model for the equation of state of strongly interacting matter with recent first-principle QCD calculations. In particular, we test its applicability at finite baryon densities by comparing with Taylor expansion coefficients of the pressure for two quark flavours. We outline a chain of approximations starting from the Φ-functional approach to QCD which motivates t...
متن کاملQuasi - Particle Model for Deconfined Matter
Our quasi-particle model for deconfined matter near Tc is reviewed. The extrap-olation of lattice QCD data to a finite baryo-chemical potential is discussed. Determined by the chiral transition temperature Tc, the resulting equation of state of neutral and β-stable deconfined matter is soft and limits size and mass of pure quark stars.
متن کاملQuasi-particle model for lattice QCD: quark-gluon plasma in heavy ion collisions
We propose a quasi-particle model to describe the lattice QCD equation of state for pure SU(3) gauge theory in its deconfined state, for T ≥ 1.5Tc. The method involves mapping the interaction part of the equation of state to an effective fugacity of otherwise non-interacting quasi-gluons. We find that this mapping is exact. Using the quasi-gluon distribution function, we determine the energy de...
متن کامل0 Strange quark matter : mapping QCD lattice results to finite baryon density by a quasi - particle model †
A quasi-particle model is presented which describes QCD lattice results for the 0, 2 and 4 quark-flavor equation of state. The results are mapped to finite baryo-chemical potentials. As an application of the model we make a prediction of deconfined matter with appropriate inclusion of strange quarks and consider pure quark stars.
