The QCD equation of state and quark star properties

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-29 v1

Abstract

We review our quasiparticle model for the thermodynamics of strongly interacting matter at high temperature, and its extrapolation to non-zero chemical potential. Some implications of the resulting soft equation of state of quark matter at low temperatures are pointed out.
