Equation of state for hot QCD and compact stars from a mean-field approach
Equation of state for hot QCD and compact stars from a mean-field approach
The thermodynamic properties of high temperature and high density QCD matter are explored within the chiral SU(3)-flavor parity-doublet Polyakov-loop quark-hadron mean-field model, CMF. The quark sector of the CMF model is tuned to describe the ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{B}=0$ thermodynamics data of lattice QCD. The resulting lines of constant physical variables as well …
