Abstract
We present a cluster expansion EoS model for strongly-interacting matter based on the generalized Beth-Uhlenbeck formalism to describe hadrons as bound clusters of quarks. This formalism can describe both confined and deconfined phases. Our emphasis is on the region of vanishing baryon densities, where numerical solutions available from Lattice QCD predict a smooth crossover transition from hadron to quark matter. Medium effects are taken into account as self energies, which are motivated from both perturbative QCD calculations and phenomenological models. Parameters are tuned to Lattice QCD data and result in a good agreement of the thermodynamics.
