A thermodynamically consistent density dependent quark mass model has been used to study the velocity of sound in a hot quark–gluon plasma. The results are compared with the recent lattice data.

Thermodynamics of the quark–gluon plasma at finite density is studied in the framework of the Field Correlator Method, where thermodynamical effects of Polyakov loops and color magnetic confinement are taken into account. Having found good agreement with numerical lattice data for zero density, we calculate pressure [Formula: see text], for [Formula: see text] MeV and [Formula: see text] MeV. For the first time, the explicit integral form is found in this region, demonstrating analytic structure in the complex [Formula: see text] plane. The resulting multiple complex branch points are found at the Roberge–Weiss values of [Formula: see text], with [Formula: see text] defined by the values of Polyakov lines and color magnetic confinement.

Quasiparticle quark–gluon plasma (qQGP) model and strongly coupled quark–gluon plasma (SCQGP) are two different phenomenological models of quark–gluon plasma (QGP) that try to explain the nonideal behavior seen in lattice simulation of QCD and in relativistic heavy ion collisions. These models almost successfully explain the existing lattice data up to 5Tc. Here, we investigate how better these models fit the recent lattice data results of precision SU(3) thermodynamics for a large temperature range (up to 1000Tc) by studying the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics of gluon plasma and hence we have a complete phenomenological description of the equation of state of QGP from the phase transition through the perturbative region up to Stefan–Boltzmann limit. We also study the effect of orders of running coupling constants on the models and used the equation of state obtained using these models in predicting behavior of quantity like velocity of sound in high temperature, which has no lattice QCD results for such high temperatures.

Here we reanalyze various quasiparticle models of quark gluon plasma from the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics point of view. We investigate the statistical mechanics and thermodynamics inconsistencies involved in these models and their consequences in the observables. Quasiparticle models are phenomenological models with few parameters and by adjusting them all models fit the results of lattice gauge simulation of gluon plasma [G. Boyd et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.75, 4169 (1995); G. Boyd et al., Nucl. Phys. B469, 419 (1996)]. However, after fixing two of the three parameters of the model by physical arguments, only one quasiparticle model, which is consistent with both statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, fits the Bielefeld lattice data [G. Boyd et al., Phys. Rev. Lett.75, 4169 (1995); G. Boyd et al., Nucl. Phys. B469, 419 (1996)]. The same model also fits the recent lattice results of Wuppertal–Budapest group [S. Borsanyi et al., arXiv:1204.6184v1 [hep-lat]], which deals with precision SU(3) thermodynamics for a large temperature range, reasonably well.

Using our recently developed one parameter quasiparticle model, we analyze more recent (refined) results of (2+1)-flavor quark–gluon plasma (QGP) in lattice simulation of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) by various groups [S. Borsanyi et al., arXiv:1007.2580v2; A. Bazavov et al., Phys. Rev. D80 (2009) 014504; T. Umeda et al., arXiv:1011.2548v1; C. DeTar et al., Phys. Rev. D81 (2010) 114504]. We got a remarkable good fit to lattice thermodynamics of [S. Borsanyi et al., arXiv:1007.2580v2] and reasonable good fit to [A. Bazavov et al., Phys. Rev. D80 (2009) 014504] by adjusting single parameter of the model which may be related QCD scale parameter. The same model also fits the lattice results of [S. Borsanyi et al., arXiv:1007.2580v2] on (2+1+1)-flavor QGP. Further, we extend our model for above system with zero chemical potential to nonzero chemical potential and predict quark density without any new parameters which may be compared with future lattice data.
