The QCD equation of state at high temperature and density (A04)

The goal of this project is to provide a high-order Taylor expansion of the grand partition function of QCD. In this project we will further advance the numerical tools that allow for the calculation of up to eighth-order Taylor-expansion coefficients with sufficient accuracy to provide bounds on the location of a possible critical endpoint in the QCD phase diagram. The research program includes the calculation of the Taylor-expansion coefficients and the analysis of phenomenological consequences concerning their relevance for the hydrodynamic modeling of matter created in heavy-ion collisions.
