Quasiparticle description of deconfined matter at finite mu and T
Abstract
Description
An effective quasiparticle description of deconfined QCD thermodynamics compatible with both finite temperature nonperturbative lattice data and the asymptotic limit is generalized to finite chemical potential. Implications for the N_f = 4 flavor lattice data extended to mu \neq 0 as well as for deconfined matter with realistic quark masses are considered.
