Quark properties from the Hadron Resonance Gas

Abstract

We show how the quark free energy can be determined from a string and the Hadron Resonance Gas model with one heavy quark below the de-confinement phase transition. We discuss the interesting problem of identification of degrees of freedom at increasing temperatures, as well as the relevance of string breaking and avoided crossings.
