QCD equation of state: Physical quark masses and asymptotic temperatures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within a phenomenological quasiparticle model, the quark mass and temperature dependence of the QCD equation of state is discussed and compared with lattice QCD results. Different approximations for the quasiparticle dispersion relations are employed, scaling properties of the equation of state with quark mass and deconfinement temperature are investigated and a continuation to asymptotically large temperatures is presented.

Transition temperature in QCD with physical light and strange quark masses
We present results from a calculation of the transition temperature in QCD with two light (up, down) and one heavier (strange) quark mass as well as for QCD with three degenerate quark masses. Furthermore, we discuss first results from an ongoing calculation of the QCD equation of state with almost realistic light and strange quark masses.
متن کاملQuark Mass Dependence of the QCD Equation of State on N τ = 8 Lattices
We currently perform calculations with an improved staggered fermion action (p4fat3). We use a strange quark mass that has been tuned to its physical value and light quarks of mass m s /20 on lattices of size 32 3 × 8. This corresponds to an almost physical light quark mass. We present first results on the low temperature part of the equation of state of QCD. Through comparison with the prelimi...
متن کاملMassive gluons and quarks and the equation of state obtained from SU(3) lattice QCD
We analyze recent results of SU(3) lattice QCD calculations with a phenomenological parametrization for the quark-gluon plasma equation of state based on a quasi-particle picture with massive quarks and gluons. At high temperature we obtain a good fit to the lattice data using perturbative thermal quark and gluon masses from an improved HTL scheme. At temperatures close to the confinement phase...

We test the quark mass dependence implemented in the quasiparticle dispersion relations of our quasiparticle model for the QCD equation of state by comparing with recently available lattice QCD data near Tc employing almost physical quark masses. In addition, we emphasize the capability of our model to successfully describe lattice QCD results for imaginary chemical potential and to analyticall...
متن کاملQuasiparticles in Qcd Thermodynamics and Dilepton Radiation∗
A first-principles understanding of the equation of state (EOS) of hot QCD is of great interest in order to reliably identify and calculate experimental signatures of that elusive state in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. However, perturbative results show bad convergence, and current experiments only probe that non-perturbative temperature regime close to the critical temperature Tc wh...
