Equation of state for strongly interacting matter: collective effects, Landau damping and predictions for LHC

Schulze, R.; Bluhm, M.; Kämpfer, B.

Abstract for the description of the hydrodynamic phase of strongly interacting matter in relativistic HIC the equation of state (EOS) is of utmost importance. Lattice QCD can provide useful information on the EOS, mainly for small net baryon densities. The QCD quasiparticle model (QPM) provides a means to map lattice results into regions relevant for a variety of experiments. Recent work has enabled us to include collectives modes and damping effects into the QPM. Among physical implications are predictions for forthcoming heavy-ion collisions at LHC/ALICE.
