The Entropy of the Quark-Gluon Plasma

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v1

Abstract

The entropy of the quark-gluon plasma can be calculated from QCD using (approximately) self-consistent approximations. Lattice results for pure gauge theories are accurately reproduced down to temperatures of the order of 2.5TcT_c. Comparisons with other approaches to the thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma are briefly discussed.
