Abstract

The Taylor coefficients of flavor diagonal and off-diagonal susceptibilities as well as baryon number, isovector, and electric charge susceptibilities are considered within a phenomenological quasiparticle model of the quark-gluon plasma and successfully compared with available lattice QCD data up to fourth-order for two degenerate quark flavors. These susceptibility coefficients represent sensible probes of baryon-density effects in the equation of state. The baryon charge is carried, in our model, by quark-quasiparticle excitations for hard momenta.
