Thermodynamics at high temperature The quark number susceptibilities for T>300MeV agree with resummed petrurbative predictions A. Rebhan, arXiv:hep-ph/0301130 Blaizot et al, PLB 523 (01) 143 good agreement between lattice and resummed perturbative (NLA) calculations of the entropy Rebhan, arXiv:hep-ph/0301130; Blaizot et al, PRL 83 (99) 2906 Deviations from ideal gas limit at T=800MeV is only 5-10% The cutoff effects (estimated from Nτ=6 and Nτ=8) are about 5% similar results for HISQ and stout actions, see talks by Bazavov and Fodor
Lattice results for physical quark masses Lattice calculations at the physical quark mass and Nτ=8, Cheng et al, arXiv:0911.2215 • Thermodynamics quantities are quark mass independent for T>200MeV • The quark mass effect is small at low temperature and is similar to cutoff effects dominate • Lattice results are significantly below the Hadron Resonance Gas
Improved staggered calculations at finite temperature high-T region T>200MeV low T region T<200 MeV cutoff effects are different in : a<0.125fm a>0.125fm hadronic degrees of freedom quark degrees of freedom improvement of the flavor symmetry is important quark dispersion relation for #flavors < 4 rooting trick p4, asqtad, HISQ stout
Quark mass and lattice spacing dependence of hadron masses Hadron specturm has been calculated with improved staggered (asqtad) quarks for several values of quark masses and a=0.18, 0.15, 0.12, 0.09 and 0.06 fm Fit lattice results with: For range of the lattice spacing used in T>0 calculations cutoff effects on the hadron mass could be as large as 15-20% Huovinen, P.P. arXiv:0912.2541
Lattice results vs. hadron resonance gas model Include all resonances up to 2.5GeV Use ground state hadron masses modified according to know lattice corrections Modify the masses of baryon resonances up to threshold 1.8GeV and 2.5GeV in the same way as the ground state baryons Huovinen, P.P. arXiv:0912.2541 Baryon number fluctuations Strangeness fluctuations discretization effects result in “effective shift” of T-scale
Interpolating between HRG and lattice results Use interpolation of lattice data above 200MeV and match it to HRG at lower temperature with constrain that a s=0.95sSB or s=0.90sSBat T=800MeV fit the lattice data Huovinen, P.P. arXiv:0912.2541
EoS parametrization Huovinen, P.P. arXiv:0912.2541 • EoS is never softer than HRG EoS • Large transition region : 170MeV < T < 220MeV,where the system is neither hadronic • nor partonic
EoS and hydrodynamic flow The sensitivity of flow to EoS is studied in ideal hydrodynamics Au+Au, √s =200 GeV, b=7 fm Huovinen, P.P. arXiv:0912.2541 Momentum anisotropy: • εpis sensitive to EoS, though the difference between different lattice • parameterization is small • About half of the momentum anisotropy is produced in the partonic state, • half in the transition region and only negligible fraction in hadronic stage (T < 170 MeV)
EoS and hydrodynamic flow Huovinen, P.P. arXiv:0912.2541 pT –differential v2 is not sensitive to EoS, but the spectra are adjusting the freezout temperature to reproduce the spectra gives significantly larger proton v2 compared to the EoS with 1st order transition (EoSQ) (see Huovinen, NPA761 (2005) 296 for similar results ) Within ideal hydrodynamics it is not possible to describe both the proton spectrum and v2, i.e. ideal hydrodynamics does not work !
Summary and outlook • In the high T region cutoff effects are under control and thermodynamics can be • understood in terms of quark gluon gas • In the low temperature region (T<200MeV) there are potentially large cutoff effects • which are responsible for significant discrepancy between HRG model and lattice results • Taking into account the lattice spacing dependence of hadron masses it is possible to • get agreement between the HRG and lattice QCD • Interpolating between HRG at low T and lattice QCD at high T it is possible construct • realistic equation of state that be used in hydrodynamic modeling. • Significant effect on the proton elliptic flow was observed in ideal hydro • compared to bag model type EoS • => ideal hydrodynamic model does not work if realistic EoS are used !
