Abstract

We present the Taylor expansion coefficients of the pressure in quark number chemical potential μ0=μB/3=μu=μd\mu_0=\mu_B / 3=\mu_u=\mu_d, for the strongly interacting matter as described by the PNJL model for two light degenerate flavours of quarks u and d. The expansion has been done upto eighth order in μ0\mu_0, and the results are consistent with recent estimates from Lattice. We have further obtained the specific heat CVC_V, squared speed of sound vs2v_s^2 and the conformal measure \cC\cC.
