The Entropy of the Quark-Gluon Plasma
Jean-Paul Blaizot
The entropy of the quark-gluon plasma can be calculated from QCD using (approximately) self-consistent approximations. Lattice results for pure gauge theories are accurately reprod…
Quark number susceptibilities from HTL-resummed thermodynamics
J. -P. Blaizot, E. Iancu, A. Rebhan
We compute analytically the diagonal quark number susceptibilities for a quark-gluon plasma at finite temperature and zero chemical potential, and compare with recent lattice resul…
Theory of the Quark-Gluon Plasma
Jean-Paul Blaizot
These lectures are an introduction to recent developments in the study of the high temperature phase of QCD by using weak coupling techniques. After a brief introduction to some te…
Bose-Einstein transition in a dilute interacting gas
Gordon Baym, Jean-Paul Blaizot, Markus Holzmann +2
We study the effects of repulsive interactions on the critical density for the Bose-Einstein transition in a homogeneous dilute gas of bosons. First, we point out that the simple m…
The thermodynamics of the quark-gluon plasma: Self-consistent resummations vs. lattice data
J. -P. Blaizot, E. Iancu, A. Rebhan
We discuss a recent approach for overcoming the poor convergence of the perturbative expansion for the thermodynamic potential of QCD. This approach is based on self-consistent app…
J/Psi suppression in central Pb-Pb collisions
Jean-Paul Blaizot, Phuong Mai Dinh, Jean-Yves Ollitrault
We discuss the recent NA50 J/Psi production data in Pb--Pb collisions, in particular the second drop at high transverse energies which correspond to the most central collisions. Us…
