Single parameter suffices to describe QGP thermodynamics.

Provides a new tool for studying quark-gluon plasma.

Abstract

We discuss a new single parameter quasi-particle model and study the thermodynamics of (2+1)-flavor quark gluon plasma (QGP). Our model with a single parameter explains remarkably well the lattice simulation results of Fodor et. al. Phys. Lett. B568, 73 (2003).
