Thermodynamics of massive hot and cold pQCD

Thorben Graf (SUBATECH Nantes)

Ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments provide enough energy to cross the threshold where hadronic systems are converted into a novel state of matter, the quark-gluon plasma (QGP). We study mass effects in fluctuations of the QGP within the next-to-leading order calculation of the thermodynamic potential in perturbative QCD at finite temperature. Our results are compared to lattice data to investigate the trend brought about by mass corrections. Furthermore, we investigate the thermodynamics at nonzero isospin density for cold QCD and its implications for the phase diagram at finite $\mu_{\mathrm{I}}$.
