High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

Recent results on the equation of state from lattice QCD are reviewed. The lattice technique and previous results are shortly discussed. New results for physical quark masses and two sets of lattice spacings are presented. The pressure, energy density, entropy density, speed of sound and quark number susceptibilities are determined.
