Equation of State of Deconfined Matter at Finite Chemical Potential in a Quasiparticle Description

An effective quasiparticle description of the thermodynamics of deconfined matter, compatible with both finite-temperature lattice data and the perturbative limit, is generalized to finite chemical potential.
Within this approach, the available 4-flavor lattice equation of state is extended to finite baryon density, and implications for cold, charge-neutral deconfined matter in β-equilibrium in compact stars are considered.
