Excited Hadrons, Heavy Quarks and QCD thermodynamics

arXiv:1304.2245

Abstract

We show how excited states in QCD can be profitably used to build up the Polyakov loop in the fundamental representation at temperatures below the hadron-quark-gluon crossover. The conditions under which a Hagedorn temperature for the Polyakov loop can be defined are analysed.
