Description

We obtain a thermal QCD characterisation of the finite T-lattice QCD results presented by Karsch on February 18, and extrapolate these to the domain of finite baryo-chemical potential by established methods. We study the resulting properties of QGP at finite baryon density and discuss how they impact hadron production at SPS for the 160 and 40 GeV runs. We discuss how certain features of the date and theory need to agree and suggest this as a possible test of the QGP hypothesis for the new state of matter formed at SPS.
