Description
The aim of our work is to develop a unified equation of state (EoS) for
nuclear and quark matter for a wide range in temperature, density and
isospin so that it becomes applicable for heavy ion collisions as well
as for the astrophysics of neutron stars, their mergers and supernova
explosions.
As a first step we use improved EoS for the hadronic and quark matter
phases (with particular focus on phase space occupation effects) and
join them via Maxwell construction.
This gives a solid fundament for further improvements which aim at a
unified description of the phase transition on a more fundamental basis
by a cluster virial expansion, which should then allow for predictions
of the critical line in the three-dimensional QCD phase diagram.
