AbstractWe investigate the relativistic equation of state of hadronic matter and quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and baryon density in the framework of the non-extensive statistical mechanics, characterized by power-law quantum distributions. We impose the Gibbs conditions on the global conservation of baryon number, electric charge and strangeness number. For the hadronic phase, we study an extended relativistic mean-field theoretical model with the inclusion of strange particles (hyperons and mesons). For the quark sector, we employ an extended MIT-Bag model. In this context we focus on the relevance of non-extensive effects in the presence of strange matter.

We present a sketchy survey on the role of effective mesonic and baryonic degrees of freedom in dense hadronic matter and briefly mention still very crude attempts to include constituent quarks degrees of freedom for a transition to a quark gluon plasma.

We compare a relativistic and thermodynamically consistent treatment for the finite-volume effect of baryons in the phase transition between hadronic matter and quark-gluon plasma, with the previous non-relativistic treatment. We find that, according to the relativistic theory, this phase transition is possible only when the baryonic spectrum is upper bounded.
