Abstract

We present a new equation of state for QCD in which the temperature TT and the three chemical potentials for baryon number μB\mu_B, electric charge μQ\mu_Q and strangeness μS\mu_S can be varied independently. This result is based on a generalization of the TT'-expansion scheme, thanks to which the diagonal μB\mu_B extrapolation was pushed up to a baryo-chemical potential μB/T3.5\mu_B/T \sim 3.5 for the first time. This considerably extended the coverage of the Taylor expansion, limited to μB/T<2.53\mu_B/T < 2.5-3. As a consequence, we are able to offer a substantially larger coverage of the four-dimensional QCD phase diagram as well, compared to previously available Taylor expansion results. Our results are based on new continuum estimated lattice results on the full set of second and fourth order fluctuations.
