Quasi-particle model of strongly interacting matter

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

The successful quasi-particle model is compared with recent lattice data of the coefficients in the Taylor series expansion of the excess pressure at finite temperature and baryon density. A chain of approximations, starting from QCD to arrive at the model expressions for the entropy density, is presented.
