We adopt a quasiparticle model whose parameters are fit to lattice QCD data to describe the pressure at high temperature in the deconfined sector, and a bag model equation of state for pions in the low-temperature sector. We compute the critical radius and nucleation rate in the thin-wall approximation, and compare the results to the ones obtained using the bag model and the linear $σ$ model.LaTeX, 4 pages, 4 figures, Contribution to the Proceedings of Quark Matter 05High Energy Physics - PhenomenologyAstrophysicsNuclear TheoryQuasiparticle model for deconfined matter and the nucleation of hadronstext
