QCD Cosmology from the Lattice Equation of State

High Energy Physics - Theory 2008-10-08 v2

Abstract

We numerically determine the time dependence of the scale factor from the lattice QCD equation of state, which can be used to define a QCD driven cosmology. We compare a lattice approach to QCD cosmology at late times with other models of the low temperature equation of state including the hadronic resonance gas model, Hagedorn model and AdS/CFT.
