Phenomenological equations of state for the quark-gluon plasma
Two phenomenological models describing an $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ quark-gluon plasma are presented. The first is obtained from high temperature expansions of the free energy of a massive gluon, while the second is derived by demanding color neutrality over a certain length scale. Each model has a single free parameter, exhibits behavior similar …
