Quark-gluon plasma phase transition using cluster expansion method

This study investigates the phase transitions in QCD using Mayer's cluster expansion method. The inter quark potential is modified Cornell potential. The equation of state (EoS) is evaluated for a homogeneous system. The behaviour is studied by varying the temperature as well as the number of Charm Quarks. The resifts clearly show signs of phase transition from Hadrons to Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
