THERMODYNAMICS OF (2+1) FLAVOR QGP IN QUASIPARTICLE MODEL

Abstract

Using our recently developed one parameter quasiparticle model, we analyze more recent (refined) results of (2+1)-flavor quark–gluon plasma (QGP) in lattice simulation of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) by various groups [S. Borsanyi et al., arXiv:1007.2580v2; A. Bazavov et al., Phys. Rev. D80 (2009) 014504; T. Umeda et al., arXiv:1011.2548v1; C. DeTar et al., Phys. Rev. D81 (2010) 114504]. We got a remarkable good fit to lattice thermodynamics of [S. Borsanyi et al., arXiv:1007.2580v2] and reasonable good fit to [A. Bazavov et al., Phys. Rev. D80 (2009) 014504] by adjusting single parameter of the model which may be related QCD scale parameter. The same model also fits the lattice results of [S. Borsanyi et al., arXiv:1007.2580v2] on (2+1+1)-flavor QGP. Further, we extend our model for above system with zero chemical potential to nonzero chemical potential and predict quark density without any new parameters which may be compared with future lattice data.
