$\phi$ Meson As a Probe of QCD Equation of State

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-01-07 v1 Nuclear Experiment Nuclear Theory

Abstract

In this work, we extract the QCD Equation of State (EoS) using experimental results of the ϕ\phi meson produced in nuclear collisions at AGS, SPS and RHIC energies. The data are confronted to simple thermodynamic expectations and lattice results. The experimental data indicate a first order phase transition, with a mixed phase stretching energy density between \sim 1 and 3.2 GeV/fm3fm^3.
