Description

Possible phase transition of strongly interacting matter from hadron toa quark-gluon plasma state have in the past received considerable interest. It has been suggested that this problem might be treated by percolation theory. The clustering of color sources with percolation (CSPM) is used to determine the equation of state (EOS) and the transport coefficient of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) produced in central A-A collisions at RHIC and LHC energies.
